Beautiful tank. Puts mine to shame. lol

Following, as I want to get my low light tank (upgrading soon) looking something closer to what you've done.

Looking good as usual... that HC can be such a pain if it uproots... I am sure it was hard to keep it planted in that substrate.
 
Looks great. Now you just need to trim it and get the bushy growth that everyone desires.
 
Thanks, Everyone!

I did trim several of the tallest Rotala and then replanted the trimmings last week. Will do so again in a week or so. Now that I have my 37 gallon pretty well under control, I can devote some time to this tank!
 
Skipped last week, but here's my photo update for this week! Chain sword still making great progress. Have some red hues on my Rotala now.

alisha, it is always good to see your tank. it is so relaxing and puts a smile in my face.
 
Thanks, guys! Dialeene, I'll have to post new pics of my son's tank. He's has it completely re-done since his water leak fiasco two weeks ago.

Still not 100% compltely happy with this tank. Thinking about adding another plant or two. Maybe this weekend if I can make the trip. Thinking about adding some Bacopa or some Mermaid weed.

Thanks Alisha...I will greatly appreciate that. I would bet in advance that his tank is more awesome than mine all of my 4 tanks together against his...LOL.
 
And your tank is awesome as usual....personally I am loving your tank the way it is, but I bet whatever addition you may have, it will be more awesome...:)
 
Hey, I'm new to the forum. I really like your tank, the plants have really progressed. Love the variety as well, I only have some vals and I dont even know the name of the other one. Maybe you can help me identify it. I'd appreciate some input and ideas.

Thanks! It's hard to tell from your photos but it looks like it could be Anacharis to me. Start up a thread in the Planted tank forum with your tank and lighting information and I'm sure we'll be able to give you some ideas of what would be good to add to your tank! :)
