    Wow -- that list is about half of Tropica plant catalog.

    BTW - forgot add that your foreground is very nice. Does the Lilaeopsis brasiliensis grow fast? It seem very slow when I first tried it. How long did the foreground took to form? Does Teo Farm have it? Maybe keen to give it a try again.

    lol... K.F. if you want i can up root some for you... FOC one for you..since you help me so many times liao...heehee

    anyway i want to create that pathway that i spoke of so can uproot them for you... let me know when good for you to collect..

    i think they grow at a moderate pace..actualy i only planted on the left side but now even spread to right side liao.. took about err...8mths?? lol.. but i had some nutrient issue for the better half of that time and if you plant on both sides and follow fert regime should take you only about 2-3 mths to cover up...When starting out it took a while for them to spread but once started...it really moved.. trim once every 3 weeks or so...it'll spread even faster..

    so wht do you think of the pathway idea??

    It'll be good to see the tank after you carrried the improvements as suggested by the bros here.

    ....Can you give a list of the plants in the tank?

    I meant to trim back a third of the Ludwigia

    If its flat, then you have less depth.

    If its going downward instead, then when you view it, you will get the impression that you are falling into a pit hole. It cause dizziness especially if your glass is thick and you will not get that soothing feel when you look at it.
