The tank is looking really good Rich. Have you got the Scape the way you want it or are you still playing with it? Everything looks very healthy.

looking good Rich. what foreground plants are those?

rich311k · 10-02-2006, 10:47 PM

The foreground is wysteria. I going to leave it alone and let it grow in more before I do anything.

Looking awsome rich......

evercl92 · 10-02-2006, 11:39 PM

I'm liking the setup. The wisteria can be a nutrient hog though.

Lots of nice lush growth happening, looking really good. You might need some red in there

looks awesome rich. i definatly think a little splash of red in there would be sweet. plants look amazing

Looks good rich.......but I agree with glen and funk........little bit of red would help out alot.
Have you had to buy garden shears yet.........to keep up with the hygro?

That stuff IMO qualifies as weed. It's a good thing it's purrty.

Thank you for the kind words.

The wysteria is a nutrient hog, but it is also a good indicator plant.

The hygro does grow like crazy, but I like it and it is easy to trim since the bottoms stay good not like other stem plants.

There is lucens in there I just trimmed it way back, hopefully if will come back well and add some color.

What other red plant would you guys suggest?
