Mr. Nowhere, it's lovely!!! The background reminds me of Monet's Lilly Pond paintings. Very pretty! Very relaxing!

 

[Mr. Nowhere]

Thanks I'll post again down the line when it grows in

Had a mid growth die off from the new water but did some trimming and replanting and things are going well a lot of daily growth from all the plants.

Most recent put some water sprite on the castle. Also hope to get some xmas moss to grow on the sides of the castle.

What plants are in there? Why go high tech to grow what appears to be all low tech plants? I feel like your missing out of some great plant choices.

Also the background takes away from your scape. I suggest a black, will make everything pop and keep the eye on where it belongs. I keep getting pulled to the background.

Ya I do see what you mean this is my first experience with high tech so I wasn't sure how to go about it

Rotala indica
Water primrose I don't remember the real name
NL chain sword
Anubias nana
Water sprite
Foxtail
Xmas moss

What would you recommend?

I have other tanks I could move my low tech plants into

 

[Mr. Nowhere]

Looked it up its ludwigia on the wp

 

[Mr. Nowhere]

Ordered some new plants that should be coming in this week, made some room for them already. Every thing is doing well although I'm having a slight bba problem

 

[Malupoo]

Excel the bba asap, if it's on leaves of plants. Just trim the leaves.
Need to hit it hard before it becomes a real problem

I opened up the strip down the middle, getting some AR mini I'm hoping to fill it with

 

[Mr. Nowhere]

Did a good trimming, also moved a few plants.

How are the blue Rams doing in that and where did you get that background? I've been looking for it for my 20 gal high!
