#67: 189L Aquatic Garden

Michael Rubin San Francisco, United States

Comments

A 3 level design: low middle and top layer of plants.
— Wim van Drongelen
This tank unfortunately is not quite ready for competition. As its owner states in the comments it has recently had major work done and it just needs time to settle down and grow up. The water is hazy and the foreground plants do as noted need time to fill in. The aquarist has however started with a strong design and a nice selection of plants fish and materials. With time I think this will mature into a truly beautiful tank!
