Love the aquascape in your tank!
Thank you!!!... believe it or not, when I upgraded from the 40 breeder to this tank, I just did the scape on the fly. I had no clue how it would look, no plan, nothing. I was so happy with it. Literally that was the spot I placed the rocks the first time. Dumb luck I guess.
