Tu, you can pay me to bump your thread if you want. Idk,for the right price I might do it hourly on the hour.

Tank looks good!

I really like the look of how the grass moves between the mountains into the back. Gives the setup a deeper perspective.

Personally, I'm not sure about the fissidens branch .... I like it but I don't know if it really fits into the setup.... But that's just my 2 cents.

Keep up the good work, and I really like your hardscape.

Thank you!

The fissidens branch was kind of an after thought, something thrown in after to see how it'd look. I'll keep it and see how it looks once the limnophilia grows in more. I'm thinking about replacing the front 2 inches of hairgrass with some e. trianda but not so sure just yet.

Oh and took some pics of my shrimp tank, this is where all my super reds come from

interesting, I might be inspired enough to try some flame moss in the foreground of my tank when i flood it to give it a similar look.

Give it a try! It's something new and different, and I really like it. When I first saw it at aqua forest and in the ADA book I hated it but it grew on me.

nice dude! i wish my belem would hurry up and fill in!

@lego: im having a fit. lol...
@iwannagofast: i really think that the stemmed plants have to go---they detract from the amazing rocks that you have back there---either that or you need to shift the stems behind the rock...i know you wanted a foreground of trees. maybe substitute for a different plant? have you ever considered: Lobelia cardinalis, or Ranunculus inundatus? both i think would make better candidates for what your looking for. i like what you did for the hardscape and the right side of the tank. the fissidens definitely helps give the forest look.

This tank is looking really good. I agree that the stems have to go. But I think that left rock arrangement is bad***. It looks really cool. The rightmost rock looks a tad off. I think you should tilt it more to the right and push it down a bit.

Don't be discouraged about thread replies. It really does snowball. As you "earn" it people tend to subscribe and check it more often and it gets pulled up more often. It just takes time. Lookin' good though. Keep it up.

I was cracking up when I read this. hahah

I really like the tank.

I like the way it looks, any chance we'll see any fishes in there soon? - I feel there's something missing :/

[IWANNAGOFAST]

Another update before I move this tank into my cubicle at work.
