LOL i ASSURE YOU, you will make changes and adjustments as you travel on this journey. But that's the fun of it! Can't wait to see it. OS.

I have absolutely no doubt I will, hopefully all good changes and adjustments....haha

Thanks for the suggestion Bud. I really like the look of that plant. Very unusual leaves. I decided not to go with the Hygro Sunset. I have another 12g I want to plant, whenever I get this one finished, so the Downoi will be on the list for that or as a substitute for this tank, if I can't get everything on my original list. What type of lighting does it require??

I'm currently growing downoi in low-medium light. It will grow faster and better with high light and co2, but that goes for just about everything. I'm fairly pleased by how it looks with my lighting. It grows slowly, but downoi is notoriously slow

A nice "busy" looking plant I like to suggest is blyxa japonica... But I'm partial to it because it flourishes in my tank. It's a good bushy place for fry to hide as well. Tends to melt in new tanks, but once it gets going, it's an awesome looking plant!

Great news, because the light fixture I will be using is at best low-medium. Thanks Bud

I knew this would happen, you were right OS...haha. OS said I will probably change my list and layout before i'm happy!!. I really don't want to change the layout, i'm happy with it. Thanks for the suggestion Bill, you really put the cat amongst the pigeons now!!. That is a beautiful plant. Maybe I might swap my Ammania Bonsai for it.... I'm so glad to have input from experienced and knowledgeable people who I respect greatly. I really hope I don't make a mess of this
