I'm positive that the larger stem is not HM. I do think it is a rotala species. Possibly R. rotundifolia var. narrow leaf green, as it looks similar to the rotala I had, but yours is green whereas mine had a salmon blush to it. But it could be another species. I would need an extreme close-up of the stem to be sure.

best it has been yet smile.gif Why have you got the filter in?

Are you havinng the HC crossing onto the sand? I think it would look good like this:


Get the general idea? (not the best sketch lol) Maybe a few to many peaks of HC there but it gives a good effect if done correctly.

thansk peeps.

aaron, yeh your right, thats what im going to do...just leave to take back a bit of the forground. i think it will look more naturel in the long run.

a rescape in 2 days?.... w00t.gif some one who knows me well i take it ....

blodhi74, thanks for the kind word!

BTW aaron the extra filter is to help with co2 circulation and algae control while the hc recovers from replanting, it will be out soon.
