That's an interesting scape. I like how the Rotala sp. 'Green' is trimmed to appear as though it is the tops of trees.

Very balanced, I love it! That swath in the back of fines stems looks like a great place to hide

It's looks like you have mastered your skill in growing your plants and controlling the algae. Now your next step is to practice your trimming technique. By the way, you deserve the prize for your tank, keep up your good work.

Thanks everyone for the kind words!
Ivanmx, you mean that Rotalas should be higher? I kept this tank after the photo for a couple days and it didn't look good - the stones seemed just to small.
