#100: 284L Aquatic Garden The 10-Week Aquascape Fitness Plan

Comments

This aquascape had a nice start; the foreground just needs a little more time to grow in. The presentation would be improved if the visible equipment were hidden.
— Roger Miller
Please hide filter inflow(?). Myriophyllum should have grown a little higher before taking the pics.
