I noticed I had not shown folks on this site much.







Filter side view







A reineckii mini. I have pruned off any raggy looking leaves, and the nice new side shoots, fill in nicely. This is the best way to prune this plant it seems. You can uproot and then replant the side shoots, but there's a little bit of delay as the plant establishes the root system, but that method is good if you need more or a larger area for planting. I just top of the taller stems from here and remove some older side leaves now.


Blood vomit, sort of like Belem hair grass almost if you allow it to fill in and grow thick. I'd hoped for something different look wise, but they sell well, I've had trouble finding an optimal location in this design for them also, they really need a long row, not what I have now.






UG continues to do even better in this version of the 120 Gallon redone. If I were to focus more on nature style, I'd use this plant mostly along with Mini pellia/Ricciacardia, mini Myrio, maybe the Rotala mini butterfly.

Can we really be surprised that he has such an amazing tank? I think not, I mean given who's tank it is.

This is definitely a visual delight. Bravo!

That tank would look much better with clown puke gravel in it. Where's the treasure chest with the airhose? No tank is complete without one of those.

So disappointing. ...
