Not really an update here i am trying to learn more how to use my camera and the macro lens. so here are some pics. also a full front i forgot on last update. im starting to have some water flow problems as my plants are pearling more on the 3/4 left side then on the right. going to add more flow soon as i get some extra cash that doesnt have to go back into my store.


I think my photos are getting better if i slow down and put some time into the shot. please let me know what you think on how i can improve my shots?
glosso i just added needs a trim.

I have been trying to figure out what moss this is, I looked at my file and i think that its xmas moss? I tried a couple of mosses that didn't do to well then this one took off. they where all very very small starter plugs so most didn't make it.

Is that hygrophila angustifolia around your wood? You are gonna have to share some of that with me! The stuff I get has a much wider leaf. It looks like you will have to prune it pretty soon!

Looks like your Blyxa is doing nicely, and your Pogostemon is growing pretty well. it is not a terribly fast grower, but grows steadily. I don't remember what you got from me, is that Bacopa australis I see? That looks nice too. You need some more color! Take advantage of the fact we have soft water. Other people would kill for our water. Try the Myriophyllum tuberculatum, its another soft water plant. Also Ludwigia cuba and Limnophila aromatica hippuroides. Cabomba furcata when I have it...

When you get your Ranunculus going, you can trade that back to me too! Between you and Catherine, maybe I will be able to build a good supply again!
Your corymbosa kompakt looks different from what I sell too. The leaves look larger, longer, instead of compact. Looks more like regular Hygrophila corymbosa.
