Thanks everyone,

My right corner is going to be a challenge! I've got tennellus runners all over the place, the HC is doing what it should, the marsilea sprouting out and e acicularis spreading....pretty soon it's going to merge let it grow out?.....see what happens kinda a deal i guess!

Here's yesterday before trim....



and here's today after yesterdays trim...



the Alternanthera reineckii was trimmed 2 days before...it had reached the top

The left and right side stems should be due a haircut just after the weekend

That looks really sweet. Love the center arrangement.

saintly

thank you. i'm getting good new growth from the anubias.

heres the right hand corner...

hydrophyte

looks very nice. great photography as usual. so are you going to just let the Hemianthus and other stuff just fight it out?

saintly

hydrophyte, i think in the right corner, i'll let it all grow together and then trim to same height, and then let tenellus grow at will. rather than control it....much easier.

this coming weekend see's trimming of stems. previously I'd trimmed some of them. Alternanthera reineckii, eustralis stellata and r rotundifolia were the first to hit the surface, so they were trimmed one week ago and are now growing back.

a few images....the tank @ almost 3 weeks old!











from 2 weeks old...

Great fish shots this time too. I really like that picture with the pencilfish--looks more like a painting, it suggests an old Victorian natural history painting.

saintly

and after,



and a couple more random images. thats me done until it grows in again.

saintly
