thanks to "the constant gardener", an SAE I got a few weeks ago, the tank is looking fantastic. I've actually been considering removing plants soon, to let some of the slower growing petites do their thing. I'm on the fence as to whether I want to keep as much java fern in there for the long haul, since the leaves are going to start getting large soon.
that said, I don't have a camera here right now, so pics will have to come soon.
