Default 125G Rescape

Before PXs. I love the plants. This is the current collectoritis tank. I will post the new pxs. in a couple of weeks.










Any opinions as to what plants to keep? Changing substrate out to AS Amazonia II. My current plan is to put more of the lace rocks in. I also have more manzanita to go in. I'm going to take the Java Narrow off the manzanita. Have other mosses to go in. Other reds to go in.

Current plant keeper (because I love them) I think.... I have others in my plant tank that I want to put in.
Patomogeton gayi
Stargrass (Heteranthera Zosterifolia
Echinodorus Kliener Bar
Rotala Magenta
Blyxa Japonica
Hyro Polysperma "Sunset"
Eriocaulaceae Type 2
Ludwigia Repens
Madagascar Lace
Aponogeton Ulvaceus
Aponogeton Crispis

Tell you the truth, I like it as is. The tank is so clean, healthy & natural looking.

Thanks! I like it too. But I really have a mess in the foreground. I have many different types of foreground plants in there so that I can see what might grow. I want to change to AS so now is the time to try my hand at something a little more scaped.

Wow, if my tank looked that good I wouldn't be wanting to re scape I'd be psyched. If you think that needs changing I can't wait to see your "real" scape.

Puttyman70 - Thanks! Hope I can live up to the expectation.

Bombastus - Thanks for the compliment. Problem is I have no plans... LOL I just put things in and move them around until I like it. That's how I do it in my yard. I don't really know a lot about "dutch" or Iwagumi, or any of the other ones out there. I have been studying the pxs on this forum. Perhaps that will help me!

Wow that looks great..Why rescape, Just move arround some of your foreground stuff and you will be all set. It looks very clean and very healthy

For some reason a few of those plants look kinda familiar

Ha Ha!! Yep - you can see your babies in there! Aren't they pretty! I'm horrid at pxs. Can't get the exposure to stop bleaching out the color.

I really want to redo it. I have ADA AS to put in. That will give me small grain substrate to be able to plant the fine rooted plants (like HC someone gave me! ) I just received some manzanita. It's really nice. I'm anxious to put that and some more lace rock in there. I have mosses to add. I am going to enjoy redoing it. I need to soak the manzanita. I think I will begin with the dishwasher method.
