WOW, only been doing planted tanks for a year and that is what your presenting to us? I would say you need a well deserved pat on the back my friend, that is a beautiful layout with plants that show lush growth, along with health a vigor that i think is safe to say many seasoned gardeners on this forum are still striving to achieve! JOB WELL DONE!!
