Hi bro, the new one looks better, lusher, but maybe need more rescaping, find the center driftwood too direct and in your face.

Doesn't look too natural like this, try to use longer spreading branches at angles to improve the look. Cheers.

hmm, right one better...driftwood still too out of place IMO...another thing which u may want to tweak is the choice of plants...you have red colours ll over the place in the tank and it is drawing my attention all over the place as well so i can't seem to truly enjoy the beauty of your tank...how about trying to clump the red plants together and place them in groups, strategically at where you want the focus to be...more green is better=)

yea agreed the right one seems nicer. maybe a black background will make the green stand out more....just my 2 cents worth. nevertheless nice work =)

the right one is definitely an improvement. I will suggest moving all red-leaved plants to area on the right, and to remove the driftwood with moss. Will look beautiful this way, as your plants are really lush and growing nicely.

argeed too many red plant is not good. try to keep only 1 -2 kind of red plant, more green.

agree with the black background

I like to arrange the red plants in between all the green. Personal opinion

the right picture looks better

The one on the right appeals to me more. It looks more "balanced" and natural. That driftwood in the middle, though...looks too phallic for my liking.

I prefer the right one as well. Jus a lil comment on the wood placement. Feel that u should use a "horizontal" centre piece rather than a "vertical" one... jus my feeling.. Cheers!
