Thanks Ndefil, I certainly wouldn't say awesome but it's heading in the right direction anyway. I went to get plants today and the selection and quality of the stock they had was terrible. You couldn't give them away free....lol. I really wanted something to fill the area behind the wall. I saw the fish and thought, why not!!Tank looks awesome Ian !!
Cheers Sk3lly, I upped the light from 50% to 60% on Monday. I'm not sure if that is why but I guess it helps.....Fish look healthy. Your ludwigia is really colouring up now
It's called Ludwigia Super Red, it's not from tropica, it's from www.aquaplant.eu. No pearling at all but this plant is sprouting new bud all over the stems, from root to tip. It's growing really fast and I notice it is a bit redder at the top.....Which ludwigia do you have? Have you seen any improvement in growth or pearling since youve upoed it?
Yeah I was thinking it could be because it's closer to the light, a bit too early to judge whether it's the increase(10%) in power of the light??Closer to the light source i guess, higher PAR values. I will give my reprns rubin longer and then think of changing it
Thanks Lesley. It's far from finished but it's what I had in my head. I usually struggle getting ideas from my head to my hands but so far so good. I hope that doesn't sound vain. It's far from a tank of the month but I guess it's what make ourselves happy. I have another four or five plants to add to it still. It's my first proper planted tank, so onwards and upwards. I don't think I could scape as good as you or certainly any better...lol.Looks really good Ian, you've done a good job with it! You can always re scape mine if you want Lol

Cheers Brook. It really is a beautiful plant. I love the different colours it offers. I don't know whether to let it get much taller or should I trim it now and replant the trimmings. Fill it out a bit more???Looks great ian, my Ludwiga is definitely getting better, redder growth the higher it creeps to the finnex p+, it started out a 2", just a mere sprout, now it's at least 10 and the red is starting to show through the top of the leaves while the under side is a very dark red almost purple... fun stuff huh?
