I planted HM in the valley and taller plants to the side. Just an idea. Looking forward to seeing it progress.
i like HM, but my goal with this tank is LOW maintenance. i think that would look nice though. i still need to get more gravel so i can work on the slope some. i only had enough to really just cover the mts.

I am not sure how much longer I have, I am going to do what the Dr. says since it is working. Thank you, it really helps when I am going through the roughest times to know that I have lots of support.
well man, instead of letting things just grow out in the other tank, i ended up doing more neglecting than anything else. i'll update that thread later so you can see the damage. we're pullin' for you man!

got a picture of the tank that's not so brown. i think you can see some of the stuff in the back in this one.



my goal is to try and cover as much of the obsidian as i can with anubias and crypts. so far the ones i want are c. undulata, anubias barteri 'round leaf' and lanceolata. and maybe c. walkerii.
