The Bests of Aquascaping #1

What I really like about this video is the red plants growing around the center complimenting the entire landscape. It is like in a dream paradise. The 3 stones that depicts a mountain of huge rocks strengthens the scenery to a more naturalistic appeal. Those stones mus have been strategically placed to their respective positions in order to put balance and artistic symmetry. When I look at it from afar, I would think that there is just a perfect piece of nature right there.
This one is indeed a work of art. The number of small lively school of fish and how they gracefully swim across the tank is also amazing to see. I’d imagine them like birds flying freely in the sky. While the plants are spreading vigorously in the tank, its dwellers are also living healthy in it. This goes to show that the tank has imitated the exact natural environment of nature. The balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is one big factor that affects the entire set-up and its perfection is obviously achieved in this work.
To see how it is done is quite painstaking though. The work is seriously massive that it’ll surely ache your back considering the length of time and the materials that you have to prepare. James must have prepared physically and carefully selected the materials to make sure that the end result will be as beautiful as how it is now. His inspiration to nature must be quite deep in order to come up with this work that is as realistic as what you seen in nature. Well, as hard as it may sound but it is all rewarding in the end. Just looking at it is more than a reward. It is a work of perfection.
