I like it a lot looks great. What do you think about putting a solid color background eliminate the cartoon like plant look and emphasizing the real plants giving it a more natural look.

Hmmm...hadnt thought about that! I just used a background I had laying around. Hmmm...might have to try that! What color would you think would look the best??

I think it looks a ton better. I would recommend either black or blue. I use both on different tanks. You can either paint the background, which of course is permanent or use bristleboard to acheive the same effect, not permanent.
