Nice setup with excelent hardscape and good plant selection. Your defenitly made the tank look twice as big with the plant choice. Only plant not fitting is the H. verticillata due to the big leaf sice. Looking forward to some grown in pics.

Elos terra is a sweet substrate, stays nice and clean. But wery expensive...

How is your fert routine?
And about CO2, is the ATO-10 good/big enough? Looks like you got a little BBA/GSA issue.

You know... I truly believe that driftwood in a glass box is art in itself

This is beautiful though. I love your choices in fauna and the Hydrocotyle is such a whimsical touch.

Great scape. Full of natural feeling, the hardscape is perfect. I think you should definitely plant the back corners.

Very nice and clean; refreshing to look at. The whole set up including the hardwares simply match each other. Definitely a great classic mound shape example with some brown 'twist'(pun intended )
