Your tank looks awesome. It's nice seeing the progression and gives us plant newbies a lot of hope! The branch really is sweet. Work in progress...lol...so goes life

Haha, yep. Thanks for the kind comment. I am still a newb as well. It has been trial and error, but I think I am getting it all down pat.

Looking really good! I like the progression. One small thing I like to do is hide the heater as much as possible. You could add a tall stem plant on that right side or lay it down horizontally behind your driftwood. Keep it up!

I agree. I was thinking about that, and I think I may put it behind the swords on the left.
