I did order some green gecko from him a while back, but it, along with my other Crypts, arrived melted. I don't know if I'd order from there again or not.

Currently working out some details to get a cool Crypt and some small/medium sized Echinodorus plants. Details to come later.

Echinodorus Hadi Red Pearl (midground) and Echinodorus Vesuvius are going to be added to this scape, along with Crypt Metallic Affinis Red. I'll be putting much more Anubias in this tank as well. No more Buces will be added. I'll be moving the Red Flame Sword to the right side of the tank. It'll most likely go in the corner.

In addition, Anubias coffeefolia, Anubias nana 'petite', Anubias nana 'gold', DHG, and Dwarf Sag will be added to the tank. I should be getting these at the end of next week.

I could not find a good position for my Red Flame Sword, so I sold it. It would most likely take over my tank anyway. The two Swords that I'll be getting are a good size for my tank.

That tank is filling out. Real estate getting slim. Hopefully once you get all of your plants in and settled you can start to kick back and enjoy it.

All I'll have to do after getting the plants is get a couple more background plants. I plan on adding one more type of fish, and possibly a hardy invert. I'm wary on inverts though since I haven't been able to keep any alive beyond a couple months (Assassin Snails, a CPO a couple years back). I think it'd be cool to have a type of shrimp roaming on the Anubias.

Theresa also recommended them, so they sound like a hardy invert. I was also thinking about adding CPDs. Either that, or I can bring back the Threadfin Rainbowfish clan. I still have one Threadfin that has lived for 2+ years. He is the lone survivor from a group of 8. I really liked them when I had them, so they're on the top of the list.

I got plenty of goodies today! After planting, I've got to say that I like this scape better than the high tech scape that I had. It's full of various colors and different shades of green. I'll be adding some Dwarf Sag from good ole' Fresh this weekend, and I'll eventually finalize the scape with some Crypt parva. I'll shows some pics later tonight.
By the way, I'm interested in making videos for this tank through YouTube. Thoughts?

I like the contrast of lighter and darker plants. You've certainly got a variety of plants in your low light setup, especially the anubias.

Thanks, Fresh! "Set it and forget it" is the plan going forward! Now I can focus on fish additions, which are always fun.

The Buces are gradually sending out leaves faster. I'm glad 3 of the 5 that I got survived and are growing slowly, but healthy.

I once did long ago. They are easy to care for, and need no special care.
