So, here are some pics,

FTV

Blyxa corner, starting to create shoots but hard to see in the pic. In only 2 weeks, this stuff is starting to come alive!!!!!

New Sword and Anubias. Anyone help me out with the variety?

And New Wood. I've seen recently drift wood COMPLETELY covered in Ferns. That must take like FOREVER based on how slowly I've seen this stuff grow (unless I'm doing something wrong). None the less, that's what I'm hoping to create. Just hope the roots will dig into the wood and hold itself after the thread rots away.

On a final note, my Rotalla is doing something strange. It's the very first plant I put in the 30 when getting it started so I've watched it go through some changes but I have more experience with it then anything else. The bases of the stems, just above the surface of the substrate is rotting. Happened on 4 or 5 stems. Never seen it do that even when I had the stuff planted in one singe 4" diameter clump. Could it have been from being covered with SMS dust from the initial planting? No pics of it but if it happens again, I'll break out the camera b4 I remove the rot and replant.

Thanks for checking me out!
