TOP-NOTCH IAPLC CONTEST AQUASCAPE? 'SANCTUARY' - A DREAM COME TRUE

This is the third and final episode of our contest tank building series. We're not only showing you how we plant our IAPLC contest aquascape, but we're also talking about the maintenance and care of this stunning planted tank in the first two weeks. From setup to Contest Photo. No compromises, no rest, but full attention to detail and lots of creativity. Based on the stunning work of Concept Artist - Éva Kedves.

Hope you enjoyed all 3 episodes and you will join us on our future adventures too into the beautiful world of aquascaping.

So many details, the first image of paradise seen from the eyes of an aquascaper, in this case the words are no longer enough, really beautiful. And we find the green aqua style in this work .my title for this aquarium "alice in the land of aquascaper".
