Java doing fine. In fact propagating very well and have enough to tie a few drift woods for my other 2 tanks

having a second look again, it seems that your plants are too little, even though it looks alot contradicting? your stem plants like tonina and rotala, they need to be trimmed and a more layered bushy effect.

as they grow tall and leggy, it seems that u have a lot, but actually very little. Can trim them all into halves now and keep both the tops and the bottoms. some cut short some cut long.,,,no worries they will die man...your tank is set to go!

The plant looks very healthy. Good job.

The transition from one plant to the next seemed very clearly defined. So effectively one can see where 1 plant end and the other starts. IMO this is the area that can be worked on further.

Any list of the plants in the tank?

I like this tank, is that MMs at the back? need some trimmings though, it will be great when the glosso covers the whole foreground.
