Gorgeous, Gary!! Very nice hardscape down at the lower left side, and your plants are stunning. I would only suggest using a different type of fish (green killies would be nice) instead of the harlequins. I love the bacopa!!

Immaculate plant health... they almost look plastic. Especially in the second pic. Well done once again.

how do you do it? How long does something like that take? Wish I could be a pro like that. By the way, when you trim/replant rotala, do you keep the stem or discard it and plant the top shoot? I notice a lot of the leaves towards the lower stem have been melting/dying and so I went ahead and threw the stem away and kept the healthy top. I hope I did the right thing...

Nice work Gary...

This is fantastic. Incredible tank. Such a healthy plants...

Is possible to give us an info regarding the water chemistry (KH, GH, NO3, PO4, Fe, etc...)

In addition just one question, 39W T5HO is approx. 850mm long and your tank is only 60cm?


Best regards,


Filip
