Heres my Hygro Rosa. You'll see how much it's grown in a second.

So I did some rearranging and made some spraybars for added water movement. The fist spraybar runs along the back of the tank and is hooked up to the powerhead which helps disperse my co2 throughout the tank (did the 'ole bubble into powerhead trick) (personally I believe its stupid that people think the bubbles mess up the powerhead....it runs on a flippen MAGNET. The impeller's gonna be fine as well). The second spraybar runs along the side of the tank and is hooked up to my fluval one plus internal filter (it doesn't have co2 running through it though. I just use it for added biological filtration)(all thats inside is a sponge)

These were taken a few minutes ago (july 12):
You can see the added spraybars in this shot. I also moved my internal filter to the other side of the tank (the Vallis needed some room). Also (you probably noticed this before) one side of the tank is purple and the other yellowish-white. The purple is a coralife colormax flourescent bulb, and the other is the regular flourescent bulb you'd use around the house. I think the plants prefer it more (they're a little taller on that side) but the bulbs weren't very cheap and I think it looks cool anyway.

My bigger and fuller Hygro Rosa. I also had a few stems break so i simply buried them and they're growing pretty well (not quite as much as everthing else though.)

My Thicker and lusher Vallis (with new sprouts popping up as well):

So yeah basically everything is doing good!!!


Also could I get a plant and fish identification one these?:
Sorry not a great pic. This fish is about two inches, white and is quite sporadic. I've got two of them and they'll always be chasing each other around and playing in the current.

And whats this plant? Its skinny, small leaves but tall(the stuff on the left). You can also see that fish in the middle I was asking about. Also just thought I'd say that the vallis on this side (the left side, under the coralife bulb) isn't doing near as good as the vallis on the right. I've always had issues with this plant: when I first got it I thought it was going to die out completely a week later....luckily it didn't.
