Updated Pics of my 5' tank

[Vican]

Just took a shot of my tank. Looks are deceiving. From this distance, you can't see the BBA on the driftwood.

Great looking tank!

And you think that those tanks in the competitions are algae free...?

Beautiful tank. The way your diftwood blends in with the plants around it is soooo nice.

Do you have SAEs in there, don't see any in the pic...

Nice tank !

May I know the name of the plant that are on the log?

[Vican]

The name of the plant is black beard algae...lol
Seriously, only some black/green beard algae growing on the driftwood.

But I think you're refering to the bushy light green plant on the right side.

That's blyxa japonica

[Nicky]

I thought it looks like blyxa japonica. But from the pic it seemed that these blyxa japonica are grown on the driftwood. Is that really the case?
I thought blyxa japonica must be planted in substrate..

[Vican]

The blyxa is grown on the substrate, but it has over grown so much that it has started to cover the driftwood. Thus the illusion of growing on the driftwood.

The other blyxa's not growing as well as this branch. Not too sure why
