Judges Comments::
Roger Miller This is an eye-catching tank. I think a selection of plants with smaller leaves might work better in this size of tank. The glosso foreground is not creating a very good effect.
Luis Navarro I think your tank is really young to be hones. it need more time and trimmings to have a shape good work so far
Gianmarco Bertaccini The aquascape that needs more time to mature and would benefit with a more improved middle section.
Bartek Lipczynski Nice placing of red plants. Composition on left side looks 2D.
