    Nicky,
    After pic is much nicer than the before. I especialy like wat you wave done with the Ludwigia sp. and the Eurocolon sp. (spell?). Wished can see more of your R.macranda, I'm sure it will look even better than now.

    Really nice Simon but I bet it's very high maintenance too.
    Cheers!!

    I like the after... much, much nicer... good job Simon.

    look very nice, colorful and a little dutchy.

    But seems to me the plants are planted quite closely, would it pose a problem in near future since most are fast grower? Or is it because of the angle taken?

    Well, my tank of 4 year is of the same dimension but lack in the lighting department by 2 tubes. my tank is a open top tank. Right now, fighting BBA...sigh! I simply hate em![] Been fighting em for 6 months, right now, they gone to the gravel....not much left on the plants. But gravel remain infected....

    Well, may consider adding more light.
    BTW, really impressed with your tonina sp. in the tank.

    simon,

    just passed a few small stems of tonina to wynx, maybe can pass u some too when mine grow longer again...

    most of my tonina at home splits at the top and become 3 or more small stems... i didn't cut them... why is this so? anyone exp the same thing? Can't seem to achieve the longy effect.. []

    Hey Simon,

    The "after" effect is very nice, kind of like a garden/lawn effect. Don't see any BBA, seem under control.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
