so I like a “natural” looking tank, and I’m kind of a set it, and leave it alone, kind of fish keeper… my water changes are automated to disrupt the tank, and fish, as little as possible, and for the most part, depending, this has worked well for me… however one of my best set ups ( my hillstream tank ) has begun getting a buildup of mulm in the terrestrial plant roots… I know that would be natural, but it’s not a “natural” look I’m after…it would seem even in a natural set up, we need to “stir things up a bit” once in a while… do you like to mess with ( rearrange, and stir things up ), every water change, once in a while, or never???
 
I used to be mad with moving plants around. Specifically, stems that didn't fit the look I wanted. Now I just let the plants do what they want. I have a trident Java fern go from a half-inch rhizome to over 5 inches now. Only problem is how bushy it has become!
