"Beautiful tank. It is almost a little too "full", and would benefit from a little more open space. Nice diagonal lines, though." ---Karen

"Excellent overall composition. Lots of places for the eye to explore. " ---George

"Very nice tank! Everything looks healthy and the fish look like their happy with their environment. I especially like the placement of the red plants and of the different leaf textures." ---Bailin
