This is my first attempt at a planted tank. It has been running for around 2 years now. It's a 20H.
I'm thinking about doing a larger one soon.

There are two pieces of driftwood in there right behind the foreground plants... you can kind of make out the one on the right, but the one on the left is covered in java moss. I thought about removing them and replacing with a more "branchy" type of wood, but since it is so well established now, I am scared to mess with it... lol.

Thanks!
The foreground plant is dwarf sagittaria. I originally planted it with glossostigma, but instead of it growing like the thick carpet that I wanted, it grew tall & lanky... so I pulled it all out and replanted the sag.

Wow! Very lush and vibrant. Terrific looking Sword. I like the school of Harlequin Rasboras.
