Awards and Comments

First Place
Nicely terraced foliage gives good lights and dark in the photo. If the riccia was shorter and the foreground better defined I would score it better
— Jeff Kropp
Beautiful!!The different empty spaces between the groups create depth a true underwater world.
— Wim van Drongelen
Well with a tank like this beside my desk I might not get a lot of work done! A really lovely entry that is teetering on the edge of needing a hair cut. Plants are vibrantly healthy water is crystal clear and fish look to be in tip-top health. As a side note the tetras that appear in the photos are neon tetras not cardinals.
