I'm glad that you did a big trim. It sure was distracting from the beauty of your whole aquarium.

When I looked at the pic with the big wad of green, that's all I noticed.

Great job!!!!!!

Such a nice aquarium. I love that you are adding different plants to find what you like.

Great job so far.

Thank you Left C and Aquamx. Yes, that plant just took off like wild. I want to learn how to properly trim this tank for the best look. Some plants need to grow in more, others need to be trimmed. I think I am done adding plants. I just added a few stems of tonina fluviatilis. I removed quite a few that I started with.

Thank you LeftC!

I removed the R. indica that is near the erio yesterday,and trimmed what is on the left. The new flow is mixing my substrate with the sand, I need one of those sand tools. I also trimmed the colorata. I have some UG coming this week, and may put that across the front and cut the indica way back.

Any updates and pics?

The update is not good. I have had alot of problems with algae and plants dieing. Something is still off in my dosing.
I replanted several plants with new ones this morning.
