#98: 208L Aquatic Garden

Comments

This is a pretty tank and I love the graceful lines of the Ludwigia. Unfortunately the big silver thing on the left side of the tank bottom is quite distracting. And as with several other tanks this would be a much better presentation if the equipment had been hidden.
