Its been soso long since my last update! I will be putting out new pictures very soon(early dec) just waiting to get some levels and algae that popped up during my time away for a month. I think my lat update picture was around three moths ago! Amazing how time flies! Here just a little reminder picture of how it used to look.

Im really thinking about possibly changing the plant layout. I sstill have all the same back ground plants and the ar mini foreground plant, but i did take out the s repens and added some runners from the sp japan wish i think with some time will grow in very nicely. What do yall think i should do? I Have been thinking of taking out the pogo and true rotala and the background vall looking plant, and possibly adding in some variety instead of the solid changes in plant species that i have going on atm. Give me some ideas!!! Also, does anyone know if there are any sheets of the sand blasted looking background or if thats only a permanent add on.
 
Trey its a lovely tank, that carpet is excellent. I think a slight mix up of the plant species would give the left hand side a more natural feel IMO.

I feel the exact same way! It's just trying to figure out the plant selections is a little tuff. If only the USA had a place that sold the Ada little cultures of mixed plants.

Yea it's got to be one of my favorite plants, but at the same time one of the most painful plants to keep as it take forever to trim!
