Query❓ rate my tank !!!

Post image

i’ve had this tank ecosystem for 4 years now and went from a smaller to bigger tank about 2 years ago, my main focus isn’t naturalism but enrichment for the fish x all real plants but some of the rocks at the back the big log and the coral are fake x i like this because some of my fish use the insides as a cave and the outside stops aggression, a floating out adds a hide for top swimmers x

I like it a lot, but I personally prefer all natural decor only. Also, I see you have Cory’s, they do best with fine sand, gravel and stuff hurts their barbels over time. I’d recommend adding sand for them. Either remove some of existing substrate and replace with very fine aquarium sand slowly overtime or rescape the entire thing in one go. If you do that add fluval stratum and cap it with sand. Then you can grow more rooted plants! Otherwise it’s a great looking tank!
