Okay, all the plants are going well. Just got some new plants, and I think Im ready to make it look sweet. I need help deciding what to do with it. I mean I want photo quality setup. I already am planning to remove large driftwood and sell to someone if they want it. Other than that Im open to all ideas!!!
This is a full tank view

These are the new plants

This is the driftwood(the crypts are about 5-6 inches wide)

This is the left end

Any input is greatly appreciated!!!:huh:

i like it. give some time for the plants to grow in a little.

I agree. Give the plants some time to fikll in and then you will have a planted paradise. By the way what is wrong with the driftwood? Why don't you want to keep it?

I think the driftwood looks great in your tank.

I just think you need to give it some more time.

Okay, Ill take u guys advice. I guess i just pictured someting different. Thanx.

My only suggestions would be to split up the Rotala Indica into smaller bunches and spread them out. It'll look a thinner now, but will fill in better with time. Also you could take your Ludwigia repens and Hygrophila difformis, stick each spot it's rooting at and stick it in the substrate while it still attached to the plant. Once again you'll loose some height now, but it'll fill in better in the long run.

The rotalas are still bunched, gonna place them this weekend, good idea though. And with the wisteria, do u mean lay them down and stick the roots?

Yep. Just bend them over and stick the roots in the sand, if you have trouble keeping it down, use one of your lead weights to hold it down. Here's an illustration.
