Looks really, really good. My advice would be to leave it alone and let it grow, will look fantastic (I know that's easier said than done).

thanks! yeah it is tricky not to play around, but most of the locations of the wood and plants have been decided so i wont need to mess around much. I think the right is a little too bare, i put the long anubias on the wood because i couldn't fit it anywhere else, but its not rooting to the wood and beginning to float away lol. I moved asword to the right of it, to hopefully puff out a bit and it was too close to the sword in the middle before.

One plant has died, can't remember the name something like cyperus, it was a small curly leafed plant....didnt do very well at all! the rest seem ok.

I've trimmed the indian fern because it was touching the surface and planted the trimming and left a couple to float...just as a test really to see if i can propagate easily! lol I did the same with the cabomba. Not even sure if this is the right way to propogate!

Yeah the wisteria grows really quick and you can replant cuttings and they'll grow too, likewise with cabomba.

As for the plant that didn't work at least you know not to get it again. Stick with the ones that do well in your set-up. I don't think the right looks bare at all. The redmoor wood looks really good too.

thanks, I especially don't mind letting it grow a bit too much whilst it's a new tank so that it helps the tank settle. I am loving the cabomba!


yeah i wasn't sure about the redwood before, but its a perfect size and looks good with the plants growing around it. When i just have the aquaglo light on it really comes up a great red colour that i didn't expect!
