Utterly amazing! Are you going to let those stems in the back grow taller or are they staying the way that they are?

[Ionut Godea]

Thank you for your appreciation. Now, I want to show you the evolution of my tank in images:

Wow! I like the latest scape. It compliments the way the rocks are positioned.

[IWANNAGOFAST]

Love it! Especially the last one. I felt the lines of the stems were too uniform in the first set, but now that you trimmed it, it looks much more interesting.

+1 Great Job!

The density of your plants makes me drool.

Good work with your trimming and aquascape, I can't wait to see this progress!

[Bunbuku]

It's stunning now and will even be more stunning in 10-14 days when the reds stems grow back some. Fantastic job!!

I am a beginner in planted tank keeping and I aspire to keep a tank as beautiful as yours. If you don't mind me asking what are the main background plants?

[Ionut Godea]

Thank you!
@ wiredconcepts - The main background plants are rotala rotundifolia. http://www.tropica.com/plants/plantd...n.aspx?pid=033
