Good start to the aquascape. I think it's going to look pretty good once the hairgrass grows at the base of the "monster" and the driftwood develops that wonderful hanging moss. My only negative comment is on the relative "flatness" of the photo. I think if the driftwood was angled towards the back a little more then the aquascape would appear more dimensional.

thanks John for your nice comment . yes i'm waiting for the hairgrass to become more grassy (sorry for my poor english), but i think it will take more time before it cover all the ground. and for the photo, i'm not that good at photography so what i took was my very best effort , and what you mean for "the driftwood angled towards the back a little more", how to do that?? please advice me so i can take a good photo for the next update
