this is your first layout attempt? That is an excellent first try.

Nice balance and I like the sand path.

Thanks for your comments so far!!

I have some amanos shrimp inside - for cleaning upcoming algue only.

This week i will change/add some white pearl shrimp a friend of mine is putting a lot of love in.

With these, i will also add like 10-15pcs of Danio margaritatus (aka Microrasbora sp. "Galaxy") or Dario dario.

Also, i got a lot more Microsorum "narrow" yesterday, it really fills the left corner now. A quick and dirty pictures is attached.

Hope you like it!
