FINALLY, the AGA Aquascaping Showcase and Contest is done and I'm done tinkering w/ my tank, for the moment anyway. This is the latest appearance of my tank. This is also the maximum number of plants that I'm going to put in there since there is absolutely NO more room for any more plants. The plants have taken over the whole tank. The amount of stem plants has me continually pruning the plants or else they get tall enough to get burned by the lights. This has happened several times to my Alternanthera sp.
Comments and suggestions on the tank are always welcome.
Central cascading focal point of the tank. The Cryptocoryne on the right side adds color to an otherwise bland right side.
