Very nice and clean. Love the bright green plants along with the colorful fish. I really like the tank dimensions as well!

IMHO heathy growth is what counts, and you've got that covered already

Tank looked pretty good before. Looks great now! My only complaint (you did want feedback ) is the hygro is out of control. Needs to pruned a good bit. Also hygro uses a good bit of nutrients so I'm not sure how your getting it to grow that good without ferts. However, I can't argue with results. Looks good.
