Happy Friday everybody! Been dealing with some algae issues on my large blyxa but nothing a little H2o2 can't fix. Going to test all my para tonight. Haven't done that in about a year or so. Just to see what they are. Moved my Anubias stick back to the left side. Had trouble with the r. mac not growing, so I'll maybe wait for it to fill in to add back later. I have fissidens rocks on the lrg dw to get more light and grow out a lil before I place them where I want them. Oh and yes I still have the toothpicks, probably could take them out now, but wth let them stay. I also took out all of the sunset, I wasn't really liking the way it grew.

Really like how this looks. You've got a really nice variety of plants in there and plenty of different textures.

Top notch!

Thanks Radmax. Still waiting for some clipping to grow behind the large dw and the s. repens in front of the rock on the right.

Here are some update pics. Temps are starting to drop so I added my heater back in. The r. Repens have took hold and I be managed to trim a little to spread them along the front. The rock on the right is in your face and a little unnatural imo. Might have to remove or add a smaller one. What do yall think?

I like the layering effect. That is quite a stand (of Rotala sp?) along the back.
I'd leave the rock there for now. Once algae/biofilm covers it, it will blend in.

Looks good, but what's the sticks in between the staurs? Toothpicks for holding them down or something else?

The strand plant is simple ludwigia repens. I had some algae on the rock but I scrubbed it and sprayed a little h2o2 for good measure.

Thanks. Sticks are toothpicks and yes you're correct. They are used to hold down the stars before they develop their root system.

Ludwigia repens? I will have to get ahold of some (of course will need to make some room).
I really like the layout. You've utilized the vertical space. It says "Dutch" yet the hardscape screams stairway to Anubias heaven.

I think fresh meant the back right. Looks like rotala rotund to me.

 

[pittbully13]

Yes back right is rotundifolia. I thought he said strand plant in the back. Doh
