Great looking!
 
Nice job!

I'm not sure what you mean by bending, everything in those pictures looks magnificent. In higher light and rich CO2 environments, some stem plants have a tendency to grow laterally rather than up and down, so maybe this is what you're observing.

The ground cover you have is some sort of Pennywort/Hydrocotyle sp. I've never seen one that grew like that, though. Where did you get it?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks All, As for the plants guess you are right schaadrak. As for the ground cover some1 on another forum give me around 10 3leaf covers and I just planted them and in week and a half that what happened. He also doesn't know the name of it either or where he got it from :hitting:. You and Chrisinator mite be right on the Pennywort/Hydrocotyle sp. In a few weeks when it all grows in ill RAOK some of it :clap:.

Today I just made a CO2 reactor will have some pictures up tomorrow everything is drying as we speak can't wait for NO more CO2 flying around the tank:duh::duh:
