I got them from biotope from different trips there.

I actually tie mini pellia onto the pebbles in front.

Love the driftwood. I think a few sprigs of Bolbitis near the water outflow will look nice. I saw a tank photo of Bolbitis on driftwood in one of Amano's books and was taken in by the bright green of the leaves.

Actually i like bolbitis too. but i feel the leaves are too big for my setup.

Like the placement of your bogwood. It has a very nature look even to veiw it at side. But the six pieces of rock infront had spoil the nature feel, maybe you can try to re-arrange it. Eg. Try arranging it at differents high to provides more deep.Just my two cent.

yup, the rocks infront is not too ideal, not able to find similar rocks at different sizes.

You can try seaview, recently saw some nice lava rock available at various size. What are those plant you tie on the driftwood? You free on this weekend?

No new updates as I intend to keep the scape till the soil expires, just the usual prunning, water changes etc. A minor outbreak of hair algae has been keeping me busy for the past 9-12 weeks, a mistake i made when i send my curtains for alteration.

By the way, I've noticed you have a large assortment of very good looking bogwood, do you usually buy them when you are about to scape or do you get them on a regular basis while visiting LFS?

I usually buy on regular basis when i visit LFS, but also will look out for any suitable ones to buy when i doing a new scape....
maybe collecting driftwood will be my new hobby haha

very nice setup, thumbs up

thanks

agree, seems buying on a regular basis and keeping a look out for suitable ones helps in ensuring you have good ones in event of starting a scape.
