Additional Information Tank is 16 months old. Fertilization is supplied through salt dosing (KNO3, KH2PO4, K2SO4, and Chelated Iron). Pressurized CO2 system with in-line atomizer.
Strong points are the plants to the right and left which add more to the sense of depth. In general contrasts are stronger on the right side of the tank. The left side especially with the combination Nesaea/H.polysperma unfortunately lacks this a bit.
Plants look healthy and choice of animals suits the tank.
