That's nicely grown out! Looking forward to seeing the build up if you have it. Moved to SD a year ago so glad to see a SD tank.

One of the first big tanks I saw had the GSP growing all along the rear wall. I really liked the look and it gives the tank a cool backdrop and the feeling of constant motion.

Great looking tank. Your Acro colonies are amazing.
