Let me know what you think. It needed trimmed up in this photo, other then the heater across the back wall and needing trimmed what do you think of my setup

 

[bigstick120]

Are those anubias or lobelia? Or some of each?

Some of each left and middle is anubias, right side beside the blyxa is lobelia. I am really loving that lobelia it is a beauty!

 

[bigstick120]

I find the reinickii in the left side within the Blyxa too distracting. Otherwise, I really like it.

Hey thanks, I just noticed that as well, maybe behind the blyxa and in front of the rotala it would look ok.

Thanks for the comments and help, keep it comming, this is my first try at an aquascape

 

[bigstick120]

Thanks Jeff, that means alot comming from you! I apperciate your work as well! Ill update this and you folks let me know what you think

 

[bigstick120]

Forgot I even started this thead! Here are some new shots. Let me know what you think, I have changed a few things since the last photo

Little different view

 

[bigstick120]

Thanks, the moss is just there for the shrimp to hang out in, I could move it back a little, funny how you dont really notice those things, thats why I posted!, John I have pressurized CO2, I DIYed for about a month

 

[bigstick120]

Thanks folks! Thanks cooper for posting the specs.
There is a powerhead behind the Cyperus helferi that causes that look, that was my intention.
Aaron, Ill have a meeting here sometime

 

[bigstick120]

A few changes, took out a few stems of Limnophila aromatica, and slide the narrow leaf stellatus to the right a little and put some rotala mac. green in the back left corner. Thined out the downoi, Cyperus helferi, and thats about it. Picked up a few bee shrimp a few weeks ago at my LFS.

Also my Eriocaulon cinereum has been flowering/gone to seed for at least 2 months, I was hoping that I would have many more plants soon but that dosent seem to be the case, any info or insight into this plant, anything that I need to do?

And a crappy photo of the bee shrimp

 

[bigstick120]

Thanks alot folks!!! Lowering the light really isnt an option for me mark, then the HC wont grow as fast/well as it does now.

 

[bigstick120]

The one to the left of the aromatica is Pogo. stellatus, and yes that is Cuba on the right. Thanks for the comments

 

[bigstick120]

Thanks for the complements and suggestion! I am gald that you folks enjoy the tank. Kris I get what you are saying and I tried to do that. I at one time had hemigraphlas(sp?) Trian in the right corner where the Cuba is and it looked like total crap! The leaves are huge and just didnt look right at all. The aromatica has a fairly small leaf and one of my favorite plants so it is staying for sure! Any suggestion on what plant I can maybe replace it with?
The Eriocaulon cinereum is still flowering and still shows no sign of spliting, kinda sucks as I would really like more of this in the scape.

 

[bigstick120]

my favorite plant on your scape is the P. Stellatus they grow towards the surface, thats Broad leaf right?

No, its the regular version

 

[bigstick120]

Update! Few changes not many though, more Rotala Mac. Green in the left corner, got a new camera so I have been taking a few photos. Canon Rebel XTi, I have lots to learn to hang with some of the folks around here! Hopefully Santa will bring me a macro lens, Im thinking Canon 100mm or a Sigma 105, I'll be happy with whatever Santa brings!

Playing with my new toy

Picked these guys up today! I got 6, I have bees in this tank as well so we'll see how that works out. These were a STEAL so I couldn't pass them up! I was holding the bag so I got some camera shake.

 

[bigstick120]

Yeah it grew in some more, the rotala in the right corner filled in a bit. Thanks for the comment

 

[bigstick120]

Well thank you! I always forget about journals, Ill update it soon! You need to check out GWAPA, look at my sig, we have a meeting this weekend in VA! Most of my plants come from there, ppl one this forum. The shrimp I got at Aquarium center

 

[bigstick120]

Time for an update! I had thought about submitting one for the ADA contest, not that I would win, just mainly out of curiosity then anything, but my recent wedding really put a dent in time for tank stuff. I was trying to see if I could get all the plants to look their best all at one time, something that I have never really tried to do before. I almost got there! HC needs to fill in as well as the Pogostemon yatabeanus to the left of the Limnophila aromatica, also needs to fill in a little. Other then that I am fairly pleased with this tank. The Eriocaulon cinereum is seeding like crazy, I love this plant except when it does this. You can see it in the photos. I have had pretty much the same scape for about a year and a half, I think this summer I will redo the tank. Anyhow let me know what you think

EC seeding

Ludwigia arcuata

Rotala sp. Mini

Thank you for the comments! The rotala is cool for sure! Hope you are able to find a source over there.

 

[bigstick120]
