They also provides habitat and refuge to a wide array of wildlife such as fish, birds, invertebrates, mammals and plants. I tried to recreate in my tank a flooded mangrove forest, easy to be recognized, that shows the roots part and also the low part of the trunks with a lot of plants. For the final photo, in the upper part of the tank i tried to hide the line where the water meets the glass, but in the same time to keep the lateral reflection, to create the impression is not in a tank. I used a smooth transition from the red floaters in the corner to the bright green in the middle. I hope it was a pleasant image to watch.

Comments from Lin Tingquan
It is a forest scene matching with variety of water plant. The composition and layout are well-made, and the path is quit natural. Overall it's a bit messy and the color of the wood is quit "new". If the management of planting the water plant can be more detailed, it should have a better performance.
