I like it. Nice color in the reds. I think an odd # of renekii or placing them in a group would be more balanced.

Some people say that red looks better if it's off-center in the background but I think you get away with it here.

Looks like everything has started to fill in and there is healthy growth. I like the anubias, but the one on the left side is a little hard to see. What are the specifiations on this tank? Again, a very nice tank!

I find the reinickii in the left side within the Blyxa too distracting. Otherwise, I really like it.
