One after the other, you Wyane, Gary, Justin and all at CAU amaze me. You guys are fantastic.

Can you tell us more about your specs? Lights, dosing, substrate etc.

How do you get your plants so RED? What do you do in terms of light and dosing?

Thanks!

Beautiful work. One think I don't like is background - too big contrast for me.

Great work! Thanks for sharing.

I have a difficulty matching the red plants in the flora list and the plants in the tank. Could you help me locate the species below?
2) Rotala rotundifolia
5) Ludwigia palustris

What is the name of the red plant in the third pic?

I am puzzled. The wavy leaf form does not fit into Nesaea descriptions. Here is a pic from our plant finder. Do they look similar?

Faruk,

I googled and found this photo of Ammania gracilis which looks like your photo. Except it's more orange.
