Is that a moss foreground? It's quite beautiful, thought I feel like the L. Arcuata is a little too large in scale for this tank. Maybe you could trim a little to show some more of the rock scape?

I love the last photograph. It looks like a small portion of a large tank and it shows off the smallness of the aquarium while still giving enough room for hardscape and other plants and animals. job well done.

I am jealous of your nano skills!

Your little tank is really nice! I like the Myriophyllum sp in the back. It is a nice affect. Your choice of plants really play off of one another! Good luck in the contest! You have a great entry!

Wow, this tank makes me want to pick up the Mini-S they had in Dallas and start one up; looks amazing!

Thank you guys.
Dollface, the foreground is Christmass moss, growing really nice in this tank. I like the look of the arcuata so I'll keep it but thanks for the opinion!

I aspire to have your aquascaping and nano skills. How long have you been building this setup?

Looks great! I love how simple the entire set up looks! I wish I could make a nano look like this. When is the contest? Let us know how everything works out!
