Interesting composition of carnivores. The composition feels static and claustrophobic below the surface. Would like to see UG play a more significant role below the surface.

Love the use of carnivorous plants which is rarely seen. The mosswork is also nice, although not sure how well that fern combined with the venus fly traps will do long term.
