Very pretty tank! I'm jealous, I can never do a planted tank (I can't even keep hornwort alive!).

Yes it does.
I'm ready to sell most all my plants and start aquascaping my tank for looks. This was the bunch I got when I started and used this as practice to get a balanced system going and to see what types of plants I like and don't like, and too see how water quality affects each type of plants.
I'm ready to take the next step, I just need to sell some plants :evil_lol:

Thanks :)
Switching over to the dry fertilizers and Pressurized Co2 made a world of difference in my plant growth. Even with just switching to the dry ferts, I am seeing growth rates I never seen with Seachem products.
Good water movement helps greatly in keeping the plants clean and healthy too.

From Using Seachem and their dosing chart to using Dry Ferts and EI dosing chart / my own measurements for the target ranges I was going after = much better results.

Pretty nice! Try stepping up to some higher light plants when you get that feel of how you want the tank to look. This is the challenge for me. Balancing low light plants/fast growers with high light plants/slow growers to form that scape that I have pictured.
I really like the look of that Tonia. You want to make a trade soon?

That's what I am going to try to do, just not sure what plants I want.
Some hard to find more rare plants is what I would really like to get.
I will be able to do what I really want to do once I get my 50 gallon 18" deep tank, 12" deep is not much room to work with :silly:
I can do trades next weekend, what plants do you got for trade?
Here's a list of what I got for sale/trade:
