the Rotala indica and Ludwigia arcuata need to grow more, and bolbitis too !
but I'm satisfied of this new version.

Looks great! I like how you've incorporated the reds in the layout and the moss looks great.

Hello all !

Some news about this tank. I had removed some moss in the left side, it's better now I think ...









I think it will be good soon for this tank ^^

 

[cs_gardener]

It does seem to have a better balance now without that moss. The reds are more noticeable in the latest full tank shot. It's looking very nice.

Hello,

Here a picture before cutting ...
I think when the bolbitis in the center will grow correctly it will be good ^^

 

[Tex Gal]

Really nice!!! I think maybe a moss trim on your log in the middle would be good. Love the flow and the colors.

 

[hideki]

thanks ^^

I had trimed all the tank, now it need to grow again !!

I really really like it. I see your dutch scape roots coming through. It's my favorite style!
