Cheerio,

Many thanks hydrophyte ,This tank and the photos are fantastic! I imagine you explained it somewhere, but what is the tall brown-leaved plant with the wavy margins?
Thanks Mr. Teapot. An aponogeton sp. 'nano' would be cool....but i do like stuff trailing across the surface for some reason, maybe that will change when i master lush stem plant growth and can fill upper regions like that insteadI really love your tank, the way you get drawn into shaded areas is brilliant. Makes me think I'm looking into an ancient forest pool. Just wish someone would discover a Aponogeton crispus 'Nano'.
Yeah, didn't expect it to be the non return valve at all, it wasn't obvious until I'd narrowed it down to the valve and removed it for closer inspection....odd one alright, I've had them since the start of dragons crypt!Beautiful mate. I love the greenness of the tank. That's a first in the non return valve though. I used those and would never have thought they'd split

Much appreciated zico, its good to try different hardscape materials and good pieces of wood are in my mind easier to position effectively than rocks. The lobelia is a nice plant, it has worked well for me as an alternative to staurogyne repens which I can't seem to grow! It's maybe not as delicate looking as some other foreground plants, but its bright light green is a nice contrast and it certainly stands outI absolutely love this tank! guess I too will have to move from my rock based scapes to something like this for a change.. plus I was looking out for a tank to see how lobelia might look in the next scape that I have in mind..so thank you for that..now I know it will be a good addition after all..
Ah, dont envy you moving house. Did you get on top of the small issues you were having with the tank in the end?Nothing worth spamming your thread for had to empty the other day as moving this weekend. Looking forward to a new project with the tank. Planted or not, still unsure. Shell dwelling Cichlid biotopes have been tempting me for a while.
I keep coming back to the latest shot of your tank... I really love the mixture of textures and leaf shapes in the middle right. This has matured really nicely.
Ah, dont envy you moving house. Did you get on top of the small issues you were having with the tank in the end? I like shell dwellers, I used to breed ocellatus gold back in the day when I had a fish house, they were very interesting to watch especially when they had fry scooting in and out of the shell
I too like the way the plants have merged, just need to try and keep some sort of order now as this will likely be running a while longer. It's pretty easy to maintain really, growth rates are slow and most of the plants don't need much trimming so ideal for the long haul, it'll be nice to see it filled in properly at the left rear.
I'd have killed itman! had you been nearby India..I could have given you kg's of repens.. I had it growing both in my tanks at home and my immersed setup's at roof top in full sunlight upto two weeks back..
