I am getting ready ready for a complete overhaul with Manzanita from Jake (badcopnofishtank) who I highly recommend...
FTS...

Very Dense Flame Moss...

Tiger Lotus...

Crypt. 'Florida Sunset'

Thanks for looking and as always comments are welcome

First off, tank looks incredible Drew. you have certainly made your mark IMO and you have a good eye and grow some super healthy plants.

Now, the overhaul. I say no just yet. My opinion would be to experiment with a foreground... get rid of the barcalya, blyxa and crypts in front of the anubias and try a hairgrass of something. Could look incredible and wouldn't be hard to try!

**Coltonorr** · 05-11-2009, 03:06 PM

So my last post was how it used to look...I bought a pile of Manzanita with the intent of changing the entire look of this tank.
Lets just say I was talked out of it
So here is how it looks today...
FTS...

Right Side...

Middle...

That is Flame Moss...the most dense, thick moss I have ever grown...I love it!
Rummy's Rock!
comments/thoughts...?

Nothing...?

rbarn · 05-12-2009, 07:05 PM

Nice

**dindin** · 05-13-2009, 02:05 AM

LOL I just bought a bunch of rummy noses today, and here are pics of yours! Aren't they great?

The tank looks very good.

**Coltonorr** · 06-12-2009, 04:55 PM

Update
Tank is filling in a little. I changed a few things...
Added a few plants...I'm using Staurogyne 'porto vehlo' as a foreground plant.
I am also considering adding another schooling type of fish so I get 2 distinct schools, though I don't know if it would work in this tank. Maybe 20 Cardinal tetras...
This tank is in my waiting room so sorry about the glare.

Flame moss and C. 'florida sunset'

Thanks for looking!

Looks awesome.

sewingalot · 06-26-2009, 06:57 AM

I like that you took out the cabomba and replaced it with the crypts. It fits perfectly. I don't know if I would get the cardinals. The rummies are so beautiful and complement your tank so well, I almost think the cardinals would detract from that beauty. Have you considered Danio albolineatus? I love these guys and they are so under appreciated.

**Coltonorr** · 12-02-2009, 04:00 PM

Wow! I haven't updated this journal in a long time.
These are some parting shots of this tank before a major rescape...
FTS...

LEFT SIDE...

RIGHT SIDE...

Cryptocoryne wendtii 'green gecko' and Cryptocoryne cordata var. 'rosanervig'

TOP SHOT

Thanks for looking

**Karackle** · 12-02-2009, 04:16 PM

WOW! Tank looks amazing!

So if those are the before-new-scape pictures, when do we get to see the after pictures?

Thanks! Here is the new scape. Its not done yet and has to fill in...obviously.
I forgot how a rescape re-exposes the filter and heater...lol
Plants are...
Blyxa japonica
Cryptocoryne beckettii
Cryptocoryne cordata 'rosanervig'
Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia
Cryptocoryne moehlmannii
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'green gecko'
Microsorum pteropus 'needle leaf'
Microsorum pteropus 'trident'
Nymphaea lotus 'tiger'

I still have the Rummynose Tetra's and was thinking of adding 20 black neon tetras...thoughts?

**Karackle** · 12-02-2009, 04:37 PM

Looking good, can't wait to see it filled in! You weren't kidding about a massive rescape either!

So what did you do with all of those crypts and plants you pulled out?

I looked to see if you were selling in the SnS but I didn't see a thread of yours. I'd love some of those beautifully colored crypts and maybe some of those other plants, so if you're selling, please let me know! thanks!
