I think this is an excellent tank, what are the tank specs? If you grew out the back a little more, it would be complete, and maybe a little hint of red? But it's nice right now.

Wow, looks great!

Can't wait for the back to grow out, like John said!

Yes, I agree, very nice. I'm a big fan of open space in aquaria and this setup proves that again. The midground is very pleasing.

As stated above, the open space in the scape looks very good. a school of some kind of small fish should finish.

A very nice and simplistic tank indeed. Great job! I agree with tyrant in that you need some small schooling fish. By the way, what is the plant in the fourth picture?

Great looking tank. I like how there is only the one background plant, it reminds me of an African grassland. And those rocks are excellent looking, are they some type of granite?
