Hey Chris

Tank is looking good

Just one suggestion I feel that the Hygrophila siamensis throws off the sense of scale with the size of its leaves. It may look better on the right hand side behind the largest rock. Or replacing the plant altogether and using the Staurogyne repens or Hydrocotyle sp. Japan instead.

That would be my preference anyways.

Looking forward to see where you take this tank
