Thanks guys, I don't see it 
you both have very strange imaginations And @CooKieS I seem to remember that you saw a certain part of the male anatomy in another members scape and compared my last scape to a banana. I think it's time you got some help with that particular fixation
Anyway, I dislike snails intensely
all except this one, which is one of my favourite works of art. I've seen it up close and personal like, in the Tate Modern It's huge, and the pic doesn't really do the scale of it justice...tho' maybe it's had a subliminal influence on me. On reflection perhaps my scape follows similar rules, but in 3D

The little hint of red plants lifts the Aquascape to a higher level to what else is there to check out.

Thanks Keith, I'm hoping it'll stay that way and that the plant transitions well.
Came down to a very cloudy tank this morning, must be a bacterial bloom, beginning to think I've lost my aquascaping mojo
On a more cheery note I think my Venus Flytrap has sent out a flower spike, although I've read that might not necessarily be a good thing. Should I cut the spike off ?

That's what I read Ed. But I'm curious to see if I can let it flower and get it to still thrive. But still torn about what to do

Just do a massive (95%) water change and it will look all sparkley again
Good observation alto. It's just occurred to me too, that it might be more than one plant. I'm heavily leaning toward letting it flower now
And thanks for the advice, I'll do as near as darn it a 100% water change tomorrow. I want to add more substrate to the rear right anyway, and no water will make that easier.

Hi all,
cheers Darrel
Same for me. The ones we used to have in the lab. flowered fairly regularly and they maintained themselves for ~20 years. It was the <"double glazing that did for them">.
cheers Darrel
Scape looks awesome planted Tim, I don’t see snail in either the tank nor the artwork 
Love Venus fly traps too, great photo
Bacterial blooms must be the trend at the minute, I have one too and an oily surface even with a skimmer
.....I don’t have plants though like your lovely tank

Thanks Ady, I think the bacterial bloom might be on the way out, the tank wasn't so cloudy this morning. I did a 100% water change today anyway, and all is well so far. Good luck with yours.
I also invested in a surface skimmer, an Eheim Skim 350, well worth it, I don't think I've seen my water surface so clear and ripply. I'm using more CO2 but that's a small price to pay.

Well, it seems that your scapes inspire me
Here it is
Not the best pic but you've got the idea.
Anyway, good idea for the eheim skim, it can kill shrimps or small fishes but is very efficiency for surface gaz exchange.
Mine is running 24-7, very useful after trimming plants too!

Haha, okay @CooKieS , you've got me there, I have to concede I can see what you're getting at now, but I wish I couldn't; snails not being my favourite, an' all
But on the other hand I suppose being compared to a snail ain't that bad since perhaps it means I may have got the golden ratio, or rule of thirds, intuitively right

Positive phototropism in action; I wish it would hurry up and flower before it grows too tall for the light...
