My tanks tend toward overgrown and crowded and I've never been a big fan of the more formal tanks. This tank has lots of elements of the more formal tanks with the large sculptured patches of plants but it still reveals some wild touches such as the E. tennelus letting some of the substrate show thru instead of looking like a manicured golf-green.
The many shades of green along with the splashes of red compliment each other nicely. And I usually don't like the marine-blue backgrounds but it works beautifully in this tank.
