Thanks guys its definitely starting to take shape think its 4 months old now so hitting the sweet spot
 
Wow Jay, looking great. Amazing growth, how do you get the monte carlo to grow like that? I struggle to keep mine down. Looking really good Jay.
 
Thanks Sam
Which monte carlo the one on the rocks i put little specs of super glue beneath to hold it down if I see to much movement in the tank flow but it generally seems to take its self with time
 
Wow, looking amazing! It's really filled out and so clean. Great job mate, really set the bar high on your first scape in this tank! 👍👍👍
 
So trimmed and didn't replant tops yesterday so I can see what happens next really cut back the hemianthus micranthemoides on the right mostly because it was growing so fast and shading the ranunculus it has a little yellowing but I guess it was lack of light bue to being so dense also used one if my Christmas presents the ADA sprung scissors there very nice if light pruning and finishing but not good for a hacking session 😀 anyway a few pics of the tank for the last of 2020
HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL

So no maintenance for 2 weeks so yesterday cut all the stems right back to try and get a nice even canopy as they where all out the top of the tank cleaned glass pipes and filters changed sand and trimmed all moss back its becoming a bit of a beast to manage lol but I do love it
