Awards and Comments

Honorable Mention
Another tank with too much emphasis on too many species of red plants. Also there are many species of fast growing stem plants cut very short for use in the mid-ground of the tank. This makes for LOTS of tedious maintenance. Still the plant growth is excellent with deep dark colors and compact growth. Compare the E. stellata in this tank to some in other tanks. This is what the growth tips should look like when the plant is growing well.

Wow! You are a Master of Red Plants. Beautiful layout and layering.

What beautiful discus in this aquatic garden - appropriate colors for a planted tank. You have some beautiful red plants in this tank that are healthy. I'd suggest that you allow the foreground to grow in some more and prune some of the taller plants. Also moving the val to a back corner will make a greater impact for the grouping of tall grass-like plants. Nicely done.
