Information

"Although this is a healthy planted aquarium, I do not feel it is a compositionally balanced one. The fact that all the stem plants are on the left and all the rocks are on the right does not create a harmonious layout." ---Carlos Sanchez

"Very, very pretty tank! Something looks wrong with your Riccia, however. I can't tell whether it is a problem with the photo, or if it is unhealthy, but Riccia shouldn't be that color!" ---Karen Randall
