Thanks for the wonderful updates.
Your plants are so lush

If I could I would buy all your trimmings. (:

WOW!
I wish I had the growth rates you do!

**Karackle** · 07-01-2008, 12:12 AM

as usual...simply a stunning tank! I'm not sure any of those plants would grow in my low light, low tech tanks, but i'll keep my eye on the SNS all the same. Your plants are simply stunning!

**fishman9809** · 07-01-2008, 12:15 AM

man, who doesnt love the jungle look?!?!? makes it look sooooo wild

just the way i like it

gmccreedy · 07-01-2008, 12:53 AM

This tank is about maxed out I would say. Explosive growth. Very well done.

When you break out that blyxa, put me on your list of buyers. Quality stuff in there!

CmLaracy · 07-01-2008, 01:01 AM

Very nice, love it

'Maxed out' is a masterpiece of understatement!!!

Thanks!
Consider yourself #1 on the Blyxa list!

*edit*
Just finished an overdue water change...

**lauraleellbp** · 07-01-2008, 02:50 AM

LOL now THAT is a tank full of PLANTS!

I love the jungle look, too... can't wait to see the "after trim" pics, though

**roybot73** · 07-20-2008, 11:11 PM

Out of control growth... Can't... hold on... much longer...

Partial rescape pending. We'll see how the ASII holds up -- looks pretty good so far

@marko@ · 07-21-2008, 12:13 AM

you killed it...

you even took out the uber-blyxa.
well, now that you have lots of room, you can put in something like L. sessiliflora to quickly take over.

I didn't kill it, but merely altered it's course...

I'm replanting some Blyxa and adding some Crypt petchii. Pulled most of the stems. I want to avoid trimming weekly to keep it looking halfway decent.

A lot of the hairgrass has browned out from being shaded by the Blyxa for so long.

I've also noticed that there are hundreds of RCS in here...

gmccreedy · 07-21-2008, 02:04 AM

I smell Iwagumi.... Good luck with it!

mizu-chan · 07-21-2008, 04:37 AM

No matter what you do with it, it's going to look amazing.
Unless you chuck it out a window.
