#31: 250L Aquatic Garden Vrijburg's Gardens.

Comments

This tank is nicely laid out I suspect that some liquid fertilization might help in this case! I also had to take points off for viability both because of the pale plants and because it is a constant chore to have to maintain an aquascape so heavily dependent on stem plants.

I like the arching effect of the arrangement. I could feel my eyes swooping around as I looked at it.

A very nice tank with some beautiful groupings of plants. Bring out the Alternanthera some more to catch the eye and prune back the plant hitting the glass. Otherwise a nice tank.
