Looks like the stem plants are going to be the main attraction in this scape. A lot of work is going to be in to keep the R.macrandra from blocking the A.coffeefolia on the left.

Somehow, I disagree with the A.coffeefolia on the right side. It seems to be stealing attention unless that's planned for?

Overall, a very neat and presentable layout.

Very nice, clean and colourful layout...

Maybe you could make the ground slope towards the back of the tank a little bit steeper ?

What is that tall plant with blackish stems on the back right please ?

Pretty sure that it's purple bamboo.

What a relief! The tank is still knock-down beautiful. I'm green (or red??) with envy of your Rotalas.

Aquaspot - Thanks. A lot of work has gone into keeping the macrandra low enough! Regarding the A. coffeefolia on the right, if you're referring to the plant toward the front, I agree to an extent. I A. nana "petite" might be more appropriate there, but I can't bring myself to part with the coffeefolia!

bsmith782 Thanks so much! Though since the redo I've started to get a bit of GSA on them. Nothing that can't be controlled! If I do wind up getting rid of some, I'll let you know!

Mellonman - I've been trimming the rotundifolia to acheive the effect of your suggestion. I'll post pics as soon as I can! bsmith is correct regarding the plant ID. I'm quite certain it is Poaceae sp. 'Purple Bamboo'

Jessie, jerome63770, helgymatt - thanks so much!

Very well done! I personally think the first go round was a little more affective w/ the placement of the plants, although the rescape leaves a lot to be determined. I love the plant choices. some of my favorites. Starting out w/ an abundace of beautiful healthy plants gives you a one-up on most.
