About This Aquascape
This tank reminds me of my aquarium from almost 20 years ago, when I first started keeping aquatic plants. Back then, I tried to put in as many different kinds of plants as I could, without paying much attention to the hardscape. Even though I couldn't grow the plants to be as beautiful as they are now, just looking at it made me very happy.
