    Thanks. Glad you like it.
    Some people think it is too crowded but I like the wild, densely planted tank.

    Very nice tank!

    However the dense setup has made the left bottom of the tank a bit dark. Shift your light nearer to the front of the tank?
    Cheers,
    Joe

    I like the dense setup!

    Has a certain jungle appeal to it. The shaded area on th left adds to the jungle appeal although I'm not sure whether its gd for the plants there.

    just a newbie's humble opinion.

    The left areas are all Anubias. I intentionally kept that area dark by disconneting a PL tube at the left back and having a green lotus providing the shade.
