Hi,

As Anti-Pjerrot said, in terrestrial occurs the same. The shadows reduce the growing of the plants and give more realism to the layout.

I know that!!! It will very difficult not compare both aquariums. The same theme... another tree... but I did want to test it again!
I'm not afraid of the judgement day! I know that I'll loose points on creativity, because the first aquarium "Syrah" caused a great impact on people and this one isn't fresh! I cannot consider plagiarism, I'll consider a way to improve techniques and knowledge.
Life goes on... What matters to me is do what I love to do... and the people when look to this tank will recognize my signature and my work! This is more important for me...

Guillermo, trenac and waterfaller1 thanks for the kindly words!

Cheers,

Filipe Oliveira
