The tank is now established and happy. My algae problems have all but disappeared. The fish and shrimp are playful and active, and the grasses are beginning to thicken to my satisfaction. I'm still not sure if I like the foreground far left plant arrangement. The tall grass in the back is so lovely, it seems a shame to put in a competing stem plant. I'm going to look at something a little more shrubby before I start pruning and planning for competition. Also, I'll be adding an adhesive black background, but only during the photography for the aquatic contest.
