I took out all my mexican oak leaf yesterday; I hate it. Now i need to tihnk about another midground plant or move the sags back a bit and think of a foreground plant.

Suggestions?
 
The plants are growing really well. Very impressed with them. Especially the hygrophila polysperma. I did a minor rearrangement. Still got some work to do, mostly on the left side. Got a gap and need to think about the CO2, not liking it where it is.

Also the HP on the far left is growing up and then horizontally because of my external filter inlet current. I've slowed it down alot by removing the biowheels, thinking of what else I can do. Although, it kinda looks neat, like a little canopy. We'll see how it goes over the next couple of weeks.

The sags are growing pretty slowly, don't seem to be spreading from what I can tell.
Also, think I still need a piece of driftwood or something. We'll see.

Looks spot on so far, really tidy planting and crystal clear water!!! :cool:
Some rocks or wood wouldnt go a miss I think??
 
Thanks. I wanna add a nice big lump of driftwood, but I really can't afford it right now :/

The airstone I had in there was actually broken and was releasing large bubbles, so I just changed it to a smaller one. It lets out HUNDREDS of tiny bubbles in a constant stream, and after 2 hours the pH level was the same without using the soda bottle upturned to trap CO2. So, I may not have to use that anymore, which will really help make my tank look prettier. Well happy.

Moved a few more things around. Added the slate. This is gonna be where the riccia will be so just imagine what it will look like:
