Very nice! Everything is filling in beautifully. I agree that the hairgrass in the middle is a bit distracting - especially since it's creating such a sharp stop on the left. Overall, its a lovely tank to view. |

In the spirit of Web 2.0 and YouTube, can we get a webcam for this great tank?  | |

Nah, no webcams. Nobody needs a window into another person's home. I'll try to figure out how to post some video sometime though. | |

| I wouldn't want that. But a window into another person's fish tank.... Yeah!
Bryce, looking at your tank reminds me of the New England Aquarium in Boston, only 'better'.  | |

New update - 2 weeks later. For some reason, I'm starting to like the look a lot more now. I've moved a couple of things around, reduced the size of the overwhelming H. zosterifolia, trimmed back the hairgrass, and moved some R. 'vietnam' to the right midground. The HC is starting to fill in a bit - finally. I love how the HM looks though.......  | |

Wow that tank looks magnificent. The different foregrounds are kind of distracting, but I doubt I would be able to pick just one either. The plants look very healthy and the moss covered manzanita branches are really nice, makes me consider using manzanita in my future nano scape... that or another iwagumi your definetly making this a harder decision.
I am glad to see you solved your algae problems. I am still struggling but seeing your success gives me great hope that its just a matter of determination until things turn around for me... Hopefully. | |

Thanks for the input. It's nice to get some actual critisicm. For the foreground, I sort of chose my 3 favorite smallish plants and divided it into thirds. Probably I'll take out the hairgrass while extending the MH over to the right, leaving a small bare area slightly off-center to the right, where the hairgrass is shortest...... | |

I just read through the post. And it was amazing. It makes me want to work on my tanks or better yet go out and buy a new set up. | |
