Not much has changed. The Vals have started growing in, but they are starting to turn brown and have lost their deep green beauty. Not sure what to do about it. I think the tank needs a punch of red plants, maybe on the right side. I'll be looking into that.
Added 6 small Kuhli Loaches to the tank today that I got at the big Spring PVAS Auction. They've since disappeared into the rocks, and I doubt I'll ever see them again, lol. Oh well. Really looking at finding a fancy pleco to go in there, or some larger loaches.
