    Looks so good, much more modern and ‘clean’.. I’ve just scaped a tank that looks like it too and I’m loving the bright modern look 👍

    • @MDFishTanks

      It will grow into a jungle but retain the clean open look at the front. That's what I want :)

    just a heads up/keep an eye out: some off those kinds of pond plants actually don't root much if at all...they are made to float and float only. And if they rot all those leaves drop at once and smother. it's a horror if it happens. But since I don't remember the type where thats a problem, maybe heads up not needed. Like this tank! Enjoy the sneak peeks on member channel: do more of those if you can

Nice to have an English CZcams channel on this subject as most are American & they have different things or things are called different names? lol
