Hey Brian!
I would have to agree. However, what's conflicting that notion is that I was wanting to see the "what if"... What if my plants just grow out? And If I trim, I know I don't have signature seiryu stones and thus I do not fascinate how it would look like. I've experienced the primordial stages of my tank from pristine, to diatomed, to desperation, to euphoria and truly enjoy and respect the hobby. I just want to let things be. (Water changes and cleaning filters are done weekly btw).
When I do trim which will happen, will it look any better? I think both. Al
With all do respect, I'm a fan of yours! Umm. After having a few gin and tonics, things do look different and happy! Cheers my friend!
