Too Many Plants?

there's driftwood in there?

:):):):)

Nope-no driftwood!

That I know of, anyway!

COuld be Jimmy Hoffa,the Elephants Graveyard and the Flying Dutchman back there in the jungle.

My plan (I had a plan?:)) was a wall of plants in the back; was impatient for them to grow in. Now that they have, and the constant trimming and the Dark appearance of the tank has led me to seek another avenue in 'scaping the tank.

When I get this tank under control, then it's the 20 Gallon Tiger Barb and 55 Gal Angel tank next; both in the same sort of "Jungleness". I know I got at least 6 corys in the 55, but have to search with a machete and native guides to find them.

Least with the over abundance of foliage, the algae has gone away....
 
Well, there are some good suggestions already. I just want to re-iterate. If you keep the tallest plants along the back and sides, your lights will be able to illuminate the middle, foreground, and sides of the tall ones, giving a better appearance of depth (3D depth) and allowing your shorter plants and the bottoms of tall ones more light.

Embrace your good growth, and let some of that Ludwigia poke out the top (it just loves that). Just let your light get some room to shine.
