#101: 208L Aquatic Garden Sunrise Shadows

Comments

I like this aquascape it's very well done for a 55g. With all the other plants being in relatively large groupings the small and very vertical Saururus looks out of place. Replacing it with Anubias would give a similar feel with greater ability for front to back manipulation. It seems as though the Limnophila was a last minute addition. Filling in a larger area with it will help give it a more purposeful impression. The grass could also have used some time to fill in more. Overall though excellent use of a 55g aquarium they're not easy to work with.

Attractive tank with a pleasing aquascape. Your foreground needed a little more time to grow in however. Some of the growth tips seem to be stunting a bit.
