The issue was HTML...the forum doesn't read it in posts.

I fixed them using basic forum code so everyone could say "holy cow!" at how awesome it looks.
 
Fantastic looking. So vibrant.  I'm not sure I have the patience for this kind of Aquascape. How long did this take you? It really impresses me to see how natural it looks yet organized.

simple with a lot of time and fantastic results

Super looking tank

 

[DrRob]

Tis a very nice tank. Amazing to consider that it started so recently and with such small plants.

 

[Chad]

What are the plants in the 3rd row from the top on the left hand side of the tank the red ones?

 

[mike455555]

 i think its alternanthera reineckii "mini"'

 

[stanleo]

AMAZING!

 

[Blondielovesfish]

Absolutely stunning!!!

Thanks guys and thank you Chad! Mike is correct the red plant in A.mini.

It took a morning to set up and plant, then from there I've spent about an hour-two a week on it. With the plant mass being so high, it tends to look after itself, apart from the trimming.

 

[Chad]

I need to find that plant. I will check my LFS tomorrow for it but may have to drive into Phoenix to the shop there.
 
How many fish?

 

[ian]

A, mini is really easy to look after and doesn't need c02 or loads of light to stay red. Pity you didn't live closer, I'd have sent you some.

There's 6 cardinals and 7 flame tetras in there. Quite a few shrimp,as well.
