wow, I like it. Great color and an interesting setup.

What else do you plan on doing to the tank?

YBN · 05-29-2007, 07:43 PM

I am planning to add some Ammania Senegalensis and Microsorium pteropus. Change some cardinalis place (i think but not sure to be good) and wait for growing the parvulas

I love to see big tanks like these! Very pretty. It'll be neat to see what else you do with it.

All of your crypts look white in those last pic's is that the pic or did something happen to them?

YBN · 06-08-2007, 11:38 PM

Those white plants are Caladium Humboldtii, i was add some new plants, and change some plants place, but on big tanks; little differences will not be visible.
( hope, i can explain my self, english is very difficult for my language configuration)

What did you do with your discus?

Inspiring size.

I like the general layout, but is there anything you can do to reduce the 'wall of plants' look from the lobelia to the rotala in the background? You need one more mid/background layer in there...

@Jesstray

My otocincluses are dangerous for Discus, they are in my friends tank now.

@ macclellan

You are right, i am still looking for a mid. plan plants. In my plan; tank have 5 layer but 3 for now. Those photos are not the final, only a tanks new beginning.

I am opening to high/mid, mid/mid plant suggestions.
