#32: 38L Aquatic Garden ramirezi garden (Phantom's 10-gallon)

Comments

This composition is well conceived and the tank is on its way to being really attractive. The G. elatinoides needs a little more time to grow and the E. tenellus needs to settle in; I've never known E. tenellus to flower and set seeds under water.

Planting and decorating ideas great but layout unbalanced: add supporting smaller driftwood left to big one and some more to the right corner otherwise very nice tank! Whatever hangs in the background please move downwards.

I really like to tall peak of the driftwood. I like the arrangement but I'd like to see more definition between plants. The Micranthemum looks too overgrown particularly against the front glass. PS... It looks more like Pearlweed than Baby Tears to me.
