In correct cut look like this:

Some news from tank...
I'm not pleased about colr of my plants also condition cut be better, so some steps for improving has been provided:
1. Fertz has been changed from Azoo to Aqua Rebel Flowgrow + SPZN (Tobi recipt) + KH2PO4
2. More light for plant - 2 x 39W SYLVANIA LUXLINE PLUS, full light (6x39W + 1x 45W) wil be on only 2h.
3. Because there was low water circulation near front window. Koralica 900 localization has been changed.

Eriocaulon H'ra going better, the same goias, as soon river stop grow.
E. Australian red has been removed from tank at water change (accident) but 2 little plant gow to emers cup we will see I'm sure "he will be back" As Arnold says :)
New plants:
E. Australia very little we will see now it have 5mm but it is green, Ludwigia Pilosa no color, rotala mexicana goias or araguaia I do not know I must ask freend :)
For last still running with scissors it keeps plants in correct places.

Thanks, with Tonina it goes ok ( on last scape http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/my-garden-250l-m-pluta.27746/ ) after some time I remove it completlly, Now I return with this spices because I recive it from friend with other plants If It will be looks nice it stay if not then it will go out :), now there are some problems with black spots on Toninas (fertz has been modified becouse there was huge green dust on widows now it is better but not perfect), I will manage this need some time :)
Reall I do not know which plant I love more Tonina sp Belem or Eriocaulon sp Polaris :)

But for 100% sure Tonina and Eriocaulon species are very difficult to fit in tank to recive "natural" scape.

Cheers

Hi All,
It look likes I manage to receive scape which I am pleased ( on live looks better), from one month there was no significant plant changing (only E. Satecum go on centure some part Bonsai has been occupied, and Polaris which was to close window has been removed and ther go Australia wit as son river or H’Ra).

Now only trimming and one think which Is still problem for me correct plant color :/

Also over one month no water changing (some hair alg on circulators and E. Japan needle leaf)

Best regards…
PS
Only Rotala macrandra sp mini 2 is to close Rotala H’Ra …
 
Well not everything is ok, because sometimes I must go in business trip, now I must fight with hair algae, I lost almost all Tonina and Satecum but other plants are going not so bed. I have fun with aquarium and plants from couple years one I know:
When You change ferts or something else You must do it very gentle for couple weeks, plants must to get used.
Some of Erio starts growing after one Year in my Tank but this difference and depend from conditions...

PS
Pictures are taken by me but I'm not so good in this also use simple camera: SONY DSC-W320.
 
Hello,
Tank is not going in correct direction not able to solve issue with right fertilizing, also I've started going with 100% RO water to have full flow what I give to tank, it looks like experiment "without water replacing" was not success on long time :) some new photos,
DSC01445.JPG

I've lost some species, some have better condition then before like E. Goias:
DSC01459.JPG

Next pictures 2weeks after trimming, cheers.

PS
For sure I will try one more time program "without water exchange".
