The hard scape has been softened by the new plant growth so much I thought you had done a total re-design. Looks great.

white areas are where the moss was super-glued to the rock



old-school ADA



Thanks guys

ed-- nothing yet. I'm starting to see some thread algae and green dust though, so I'm thinking of getting some Amanos and otos this week.

apistaeasy-- I think I can attribute this mostly to the moss growing in on the main rock. It wasn't so easy to see at initial shots, but it's really starting to go now.

jassar-- right you are

Hey, how do you guys think green cabomba wood look planted in some places in the background?

I'm just giving it some thought.

Stick to thin leaved rotalas, they are the best. Cleaning my 10g and my 40 lily pipes was a hassle this weekend... took me from 1-5pm......

Use the tropica rotala ''green'' that looks really good...i don't like the look of cambomba much..kinda weed like and its damn hard to grow!!!

Awesome Aquascape..very very impressive

Well I'm going to disagree with the others and say go for the cabomba! I really like it!

I'd go for the yellow cabomba (Cabomba piauhyensis) if you can though, the pinkish stems look great with the light green and I find it easier to grow too.
The red species is nice too, but harder to grow for me.
