It's finally filled in enough that I'm not embarrassed to show pictures of it.

I do open them occasionally, but I personally love the tannins in the water so I try to keep it as low light as possible.

It kind of makes the tank feel a little mysterious looking and I like that about it.

I appreciate the compliment!

I'm a huge fan of tannins, too! My friends just don't get it, but you hit the nail on the head; I love the mystery it evokes. Your anubias are awesome - I love how large they are. Do you know which kind they are?
haha - forget that, I just learned how to read :icon_roll
