"Very nice long term layout! Too bad that the top rim of the aquarium was not cropped out in the photography. The aquarium should have been filled to the top before picture taking at the least." ---Carlos Sanchez

"Really, really attractive moderate light tank. I love your use of the Nymphaea, and the "tight" look of the planting. The fish population is a little too high, though, and makes the scene a little "busy"." ---Karen Randall
