What's the plant that you call the otto tree?

It's Hygro. Difformis or Wisteria.

No new pics! Not yet anyway. I've added HC as a foreground now. Hopefully it does better than the glosso. It does a good job of blending the rocks with the gravel. I really like this little plant! So far the BGA is gone with no sign of coming back. I am still battling GDA and BBA though. I have my CO2 up as high as my fish can handle. I suppose it's time to cut back on the light cycle, it's currently 2 bulbs (54W T5HO) on for 6 hours on the back, followed by 2 bulbs (same kind) for 6 in the front. I think I'll try a break in the middle. Maybe starting with an hour?

Thanks guys! New pics will be a month or so away... I'm waiting for the GDA to run the course. (And it's killing me not to clean the glass)

LOL... My wife started calling me that, I think I told her too much fish info.

I'm using 2 Geisman Midday bulbs mixed with 2 Aquamedic Grow bulbs. 1 of each is on from 10-3, then the other 2 (in the front) come on from 3-8.

And thanks!
