This is my first aquarium with aquascaping. Before that I only had Acará Discus aquariums. It was a challenge to set up an aquascaping, mainly in terms of maintenance. But I was grateful for the learning process and this is just the first tank I want to present to the judges. ThanksCategory Sponsor
