Chilled! That foreground is looking really, really nice mate.

Some more denser planting at the back, and your on to a winner

Hi Chilli
Nice set-up love the cardinals.I think Vallis would be good for the background and compliment the scape.

Nothing to do with me mate. But with your set up you could grow anything you like I reckon. Something With fine small leaves?
 
Re: New 4ft journal The Island 2 New Pics 15/07/2011

I'm a bit unsure why you think you cant grow rotala? It looks fine to me, coloured even.

It's just the density your lacking. Buy just 2 pots, split and plant, let them grow, and trim. Job done 8)
