Hi Ascitone,
a very warm welcome to you. Nice setup , I think you are well on your way. Enjoy.

Plants are growing healthily. Aquascape wise, I think you need a hardscape like a couple of driftwood or rocks to give the scape form.

Warm welcome!
A month old and the hairgrass looks very established. Hope you cultivate more of the stem plants for the background. Try plants with different shades of greens or leaf size or add some red plants for contrast.
Keep us posted!

Water sprite is a nice bright lighter shade of green...I think some of that in there...maybe in the back left corner...would look nice.

Thank you all,
yes the tank needs some more contrast and definitely something in the back left corner still looking haven't decided yet. not really happy with any more driftwood or rocks that I have found locally and really hard to pick something like driftwood online, really need to see the pieces in person. I keep going to the LFS every week looking at there new shipments of driftwood when they come in. Some day I'll find that perfect piece.

Thanks again for your comments and warm welcome's
