I found a pic somewhere of when I first started the tank, and everything was no more than a few inches tall. I will have to upload it.

I had some wysteria on the left that grew like a weed and then just fell apart. So it was replaced with the creeping jenny and something else in the back.

As you can see I lost control of this tank. The indica in the back has really gone nuts and the creeping jenny in the front too. I can't bring myself to throw out plants.

UPDATE 10/31/2014


As you can see, and hopefully enjoy, I spent about 3 hours cleaning and trimming and removing plants. I took a boat load of the indica out and sold it to a local store. I trimmed every plan including removing some of the sword leaves. And finally planted the primrose. You could barely see the java fern in the back but now you can more, and it can get more light. It had latched itself well on the rock it is on, but wasn't growing much.
