Thanks. After you started that thread on Limnophila aromatica not coloring mine started to get deep red. When I get a chance I'll take normal true to color shots and show you. I guess it is the intensity and depth relationship with PCF's. They all grow towards the center of the tank, area of highest intesity. I think its 2/3 light, 1/3 nutrients.

That's some beautiful L. aromatica.
