Every time I try to keep this thread buried in the chasms of cyberspace, somehow it keeps coming back.

Nice work on the substrate exchange Randy, looks really super!

Sorry to hear about your light problem, but your tank looks like you recovered nicely.
Absolutely stunning!!!!!!!!!

After going to medium light for about a month and a half, this is what my Limnophila aromatica looked like:

Needless to say, I went back to high light.

The Limnophila aromatica is starting to grow back.

The Hemianthus callitrichoides lawn is starting to take off:

The Ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata 'Cuba' is back to looking good:

One of my newer species, the Eriocaulon cinereum is starting to grow back. I had it in another medium light tank.

The Polygonum sp. ‘Kawagoeanum’ never stopped growing. It's got to be a cousin to the Hygrophila family

.

Another new species, Rotala macrandra 'Narrow Leaf', Much easier then the normal R. macrandra. (sorry for the bad pic)

Blyxa japonica is taking over the tank. I need to get ride of some of it inorder for my HC to fill in.

FTS. I still have to find out which settings work best for this new lighting.

It's been a very long time since I posted anything about my 28 gallon tank.

Ludwigia repens colors up soo much nicer in medium-high light as compared to high-very high light.

The same goes for Rotala macrandra. It's turning blood red. I have never seen a prettier shade of red in anyone of my tanks. This picture does not do it justice.

EDIT: just grabed another pic of this plant. This one is a little better.

A newer species for this tank, Echinodorus sp. 'Sao Paulo'. A very colorful chain sword.

My camera has a lot of trouble shooting this tank because of the bowfront. I can't get it any better. Sorry.

EDIT agin: I just had to add this wonderful plant pic.

Nice tank!

The Blyxa japonica in the mid-ground gives the tank alot of depth.

Tanks look great. Really growing in well.

I can see why you were disappointed with the medium light. Your plants look absolutely fantastic under the higher light. That BGK pic is pretty cool! What a lucky fish to live in that beautiful tank!

Very nice indeed, your tank will be back in top form in no time! Thanks for the fix

Thank you very much.

I guess I do need to add some more updated pics to this thread, but nothing much has changed. I rather like this setup.
