Cheers, Yep the Hydrocotyle is from that, there is a large rock under that 😉 a big trim is needed.

I have a 150w metal halide and the tank is 160L

Red plant is Proserpinaca Paulustris, red plants need more light in my experance.

Cheers Matt

hydrocotle sp japan must be one of the easiest things to grow 🙂 love the scape great tank
 
Loving that hydrocotyle hill, oh yes. Nice scape. Try the seasonal variance I mentioned in my journal, really brings the fauna on as well.
 
Some mini alternanthera would look great behind the sp Japan.
