Here is a new quick video. This one shows the Magnetic Small Hanging Planter and Nano Trellis Raft in use in the tank.

This tank is all torn up. Here is a quick picture.
I haven't seen any trouble lately, but there were spider mites on the Acorus at the end of the summer so I am giving everything an overnight dunk before I move any of it anywhere.
I have not decided yet whether I will keep the same basic Acorus sweetflag theme, or switch it up with something new(?). I already divided up the leather fern, so at least some of the plants will change. The white-variegated thing on the rear pane on the left is the Xanthosoma 'Hilo Beauty' that I got recently in a trade. That looks like it could be a great riparium centerpiece plant. I also have (further left) the (also variegated) Schismatoglottis up and out of the water because that thing is more delicate.
The other spindly things on the rear pane are Cyperus 'Baby Tut'. I just potted those up and have them in here provisionally, but I wonder about using them for much of a new background for this tank...any opinions?

I replanted this tank.
The plants are looking spindly, but I hope that it will fill in as they grow some more.

I have another shot from the other night. This one shows some detail of the area around the planters. The whole setup will start looking better when these Pilea grandifolia get a chance to grow up and cover the planters and rafts. I had replanted all of these Pilea from fresh cuttings and they are just now starting to grow new roots.
