Sweet. Very nice setup. I wonder where is your Barclaya longifolia "red" can't seem to find them. I know they grow big & will become a very nice focal plant. Looks very pro to me. Good Job!

Kind words from the CRS pros.

Sharp eyes ~
There was actually a bunch of arcuata between the macandra and rotundifolia, but the refuse to stay straight and starts leaning and tangling in with other plants, hence I chose to remove them. After topping once, the hole is still there so guess I have to wait a while more. Maybe tear up the glosso a bit and push the wood forward to insert more stems.

I got it from ecoculture, still very small now though, just recently revived from its dormant phase, lying in the right bottom corner, can't see it anyway. Colourful aquarium has them currently, but they are all around 1 foot tall, you can check it out over there.

Yeah, I have about 20+ of them inside a container, another 50 assorted inside a drawer. Another 30+ fries inside the tank.....I am troubled.
I don't like to see so many little black kids swimming around, . I think I need to sterilise some fathers.

it seems abit too many plants. looks relaxing but at the same time have a sense of chokeness. ma chiam no room to breath your scaping is good. how old tank arh? a very good job. your plant is pearling which is a good sign.

2.5 feet. I agree with the lack of depth. Choking wise maybe.... I have been thinking of cutting off all the big crowns of the toninas. The big crowns sometimes make the place look crammed. Appreciate your input.

Actually for a moment I thought you were attempting Dutch.

Well, I guess you just need more time for the plants to starting filling up to help thicken the scape. Thicker scapes are much easier to slope anyway.

Its nice enough but we're just trying to make it even better. Your scape has potential since the basic structure is set, it is only the finer things that need to tune here and there a little.

Hope to see your update soon.

Hummm...Did i see a gu jing some where in the middle???It's seems like catching my attention leh....My humble opinion is that it shouldn't be there....maybe replace it with some rocks will be better...So that in general,it wouldn't be all green and have some rock scaping to balance of the softness of the green...

Regards
