Aquascape ideas and commentary

So I'm thinking of doing my aquarium In a more natural theme, but I want some second opinions on my plan. I'd also like to know about what others have done, in their aquariums just for some inspiration.

I like how that looks! And what did you use to create a picture like that? Is that a special app or something?

You should create a duch planted tank. It will be heavily planted and look great.
