Hello Community:

I take this opportunity to give a greeting to each of the people for their kind comments. Then I show the phases of this project:

Initial design:
This phase is more complicated because we must consider the elements that work together.
Driftwood, I will tell you that the branches of vine are helpful, they are hard and very variable, which will allow them to play with the landscape. I considered this structure to provide shade and safety for my turtles and a platform for plant

Planted in Branches
Here we proceeded to make the planting of the branch plants of the family of Syngonio, little round, Dwarf Bamboo, some plants such as arrow leaves, dwarf papyrus, java fern and Anubias semi submerged. I have two anubias submerged.

First Design
This first model contains varieties of plants and driftwood, but I began to consider that turtles should have as much space, that is why I proceeded to see a new design later.

Final Design
I improved this design in the dimension of free land. Now there are two areas where they could spend the night without the light will disturb the turtles.
