Thanks everyone.
@DewaldC, I use 2 white 12000K that came with the odyssea light unit, and 2 Giesemann Powerchrome Aquaflora

 

Loving the look of the tank! I love the wild look, it seems so much more natural.

 

WOW!!!

Looks very natural...I like!

Love this tank. You chose the placement of the rocks well. The only thing I will change is move the Ambulia to the other side. This will give better focus on that nice rock you have. Awesome tank man. :top:

Very very nice. Congrats!
