Additional
Information

"Your tank is a little unbalanced with all your long-leafed plants on the far left. From there, across the rest of the tank, there is very little difference in terms of size and texture of the foliage. You have managed to include a nice amount of red, but try for more variety of texture as well." ---Karen Randall
