Very nice, thick and healthy. As newfound mentioned, the layers are beautiful and even more defined now, nice and thick but dosn't look over grown or messy, that's tough to pull off. Nice balance.
 
That is very nice rich.

LOL. I have never thought of using brazilian pennywort as a foreground plant. It does have roots that grow like crazy at every node. I may have to try that. Thanks rich.

EDIT: The more and more I look at your tank Rich, the more I can't believe I throw out so much of that pennywort everyweek. My foreground is so bare. LOL what a solution. hats off to CZCZ.
 
I love what you're doing with this tank Rich. A definate step away from the jungle look and into something with a greater aquascaped feel. The foreground still gives it a bit of a wild feel, but in a much more controlled manner. Once the Vals finish filling in the back middle and left, this scape is really going to pop.
 
Time for a few new ones. It has been a month.

A few new pictures.

I added a few plants, removed some and did a little rearranging. I let the penny wort grow up and added an array of different stuff in the front.

Looks great Rich, love how the left side is packed and the right is more open, make a nice contrast :)
 
The plants are growing so beautifully in this tank, that it leaves me wanting to see you do more with the aquascaping. There's the beginning to some very nice things, but it feels like it still needs something to really make it pop. I think perhaps I want to see more contrast. It could be a nice strong bit of rock work or driftwood behind the plants to the left. Perhaps a few plants with nice large leaves like a small sword, crypt, or anubias. Maybe a splash of color with a red plant.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with it next.
 
Added a piece of wood and did some trimming and rearranging.
