Cheers. I have a few more hygrophila difformis coming to fill the back out behind the tall driftwood. The tall piece is wood yes and on the left is a dragon stone cave I made with some Xmas moss on it which I am hoping spread :)

My rio 180

Hi there I was feeding a combination of blood worm and flake. Unfortunately since I started this thread all 4 rams have passed. :( the little elective blue was first to go then the big electric hurt himself and never really recovered then I lost the male German blue again for no apparent reason...

Hey I was just wanting confirmation that it is the t5 day bulb which promotes plant growth
