    This is because of the "strong" hardscape, wich is intended from the beginning.
    I really like this layout, just the left side is a bit messy.

    Great depth on this tank, it goes forever. :)

    The rock work is good, but the wood is somewhat distracting. I would just leave the rocks.

    The whole setup is fantastic, but if I had to pick something (on my opinion) that would be it.

    pretty awesome I got to say. I'm surprised you didn't rank higher considering some of the... uh... iffy... entries in the top 100. The only thing I can think of is possibly the completely blacked out front left corner being a distraction, also with the (overly?) strong shadow of the wood on the left side. Perhaps it should have been angled to cast less of a shadow. Also, I tend to think of green cardinals as better off as a mono-fish choice. When mixing with other strong-colored tetras like Red Phandom and Columbias, perhaps Cardinal tetras would have been a better choice. The sand is also a bit too white for the rock and wood choices imo.

    Eh, all that is pretty minor-- this is a really great and enjoyable layout. Great work here.

    Bravo Kirua pour ce bac.
    Je pense que la photo ne rend pas au mieux.
    La profondeur est vraiment bien réussi, avec beaucoup de détails.


    Congratulations Kirua for the tray.
    I think the picture does not do the best.
    The depth is really successful, with many details.
