wow, really beautiful. I'm just starting out on 56g tank. Any advice on achieving such a lush aquascape? What substrate and plants did you use?

??? What's that???

I like it. Have a pic of when you first set it up? I just started a new planted tank with 3 apongenton, 2 wisteria, 2 water onions, a wendtii spread out into a patch and an unknown Petco potted plant. I'm curious what your's looked like when you first started so I know what kind of end result I might get.

Beautiful tank! Touchdown!

Ok so I use eco complete substrate and here s a list of the fastest growing and most lush plants in my tank: temple, hornwort, crypt wenditi, water sprite, wisteria, and ruffled amazon swords. Those plants will grow almost by themselves with minimum fertilization.

And I forgot to say that pics from day one are in an album on my profile. Thank you all for the kind words!

really nice for such a short time. your plants are growing like weed. maybe you can start a classified and try to sell some of them when you trim them down a bit

Very nice, Dallas! I am sure your fish enjoy it

Nice job, I'm jealous. Here's my java fern after about 1 year of growth.

 

[Dallascowboys16]

Don't worry it'll get there, java fern is a very slow grower.

I thought you had water sprite in there. Mines blew up like that also. Now I just float it and sell off as many plantlets as possible lol

You bet it is a slow grower. I don't even know how many baby java ferns I have between my 2 tanks that came off this plant.
