What are the specs for the tank?

Nice! I like the way no single plant is dominant. You inplemented some flower arrangement techniques in this tank like Ikebana? The lights should be brighter though, I'm not too sure about that.

Nice! I was thinking it is a cube tank and the aquascape can be viewed from all 4 sides.

Thanks for comment. I intended to do a different aquascape but the plants had their own way. Main plants like HC and Hairgrass , for example, wither and die. Still finding a way to bring down pH to 6 - 6.5. Only when it's a 7 - 6.5 pH bubbling occurs most. My first time with Aquasoil. Had a hard time to get ph-kh-gh to stay put to my liking during initial start up.

Now already 8 months setup.
