"Blending Dutch and Nature Aquarium styles certainly takes some courage. Credit is due for making the attempt. In this case though, they're not mixing very well. When using discus in a planted tank is usually a good idea to pick only one color pattern and stick with that. The Cobalt and Pidgeonblood don't mix well together although they would look good in this tank separately. " ---Phil Edwards
"Well, your tank is appropriately named! Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well. Both ends of the tank are nice, but they don't work together. " ---Karen Randall
"The layout composition is too delicate for Discus keeping tank. Open space without plants is necessary for keeping Discus. " ---Takashi Amano
