| Judges Comments:: | |
| Roger Miller | A very healthy-looking low-light tank. Use of some smaller plants might improve the aquascaping values |
| Luis Navarro | try moving the large size plants to the sides you have many of them too close to the center and add more plants but keep in mind the sizes of the Echinodorus and the lotus the tank can be too small if you don't keep up with the plants mostly now that you have Co2. |
| Gianmarco Bertaccini | Plants show good health, but your layout has not a clear definition. |
| Bartek Lipczynski | Nice classic tank in good old style. |
