well, i started doing modifications, something looks strange to me.

i moved the amazon to the back, trimmed some red temples and put them next to the rock, which is now vertical.

i think the cabombas in front of the sword need to be moved, and maybe the apon in front of the rock too?? the left side looks like chaos. about the rock, what should i put behind it?? there are still a few stems of red temples back there along with some cabombas.

still waiting for the next shipment of vals for the right side corner.

is there a specific pic you're referring to? i can't find any cabomba in front of your amazon.

ehhh.... yer not suppose to see those hahaha

tank2 and tank1 are the same tank!! they are just decorated different. they are in the same folder, which is the link i have up there.

they look kinda the same, so i added *'s next to my tank2 title... it looks like this.. **TANK2** suppose to tank1.

I had a tendency to re=aquascape my plants for the first week I got them. But now, I just leave them alone. However, now I've learned to plant some plants singularly (like the Water Wisteria).

As for your tank2, it looks messy on the left hand side (like you said). The way I would plant them is shortest front and tallest in the back. That way it will more organized instead of having some talls in the front and some shorts in the middle. I would also put the rock horizontal and put your shortest plant in front of it.

I don't know if that helped but the simpler the setup, the better it will look! If you have too much mixed up its going to look like chaso

thats kinda like what i did before...

can you get the cabomba behind the wood in the corner? or bunch it up with the other cabomba you've already got on either the left or right hand side.

i knew it, i shouldve left it alone the way it was.

i modified it a little lastnight, i will post pictures when i return from school tonight.

i moved the cabombas, made the rock horizontal, move the apons, moved the val, be patient, i will show you later

I think i may be a little late for this already, but still.

I like it, but you are right i would move the apon behind the rock, nd the cabomba to one corner either would work.

other than that i think it will look really cool once plants start growing, and i still like the rock vertical better

well... i changed the rock back to horizontal because i think the ghost shrimps like it that way better. some of the apons are growing leaves that points to all different directions which made it look messy.

i tilt the angle of the rock so it creates a courtyard-like scene with the wood. i am still waiting for more vals, one of my lfs sell regular jungle vals for 6.99!!!! compare to petsmart for 1.99, i think i am going to wait since i'll need to buy like 4 of them.

Looking really good!!! congrats!

maybe you just want to wait till the vals get established, as soon as they do, they will start growung daughter plants like crazy, to the point where you won't know what to do with them!

wow, i cannot wait, i think because i took away the reactor and just let the co2 make fine bubbles, and about 1/2 the bubbles go in the intake, i hope that is still enough co2 in my tank for the plants, because they dont pearl anymore.

I think you really need some plants all up against the back of the tank to make it look fuller and more complete. Right now I feel like I'm looking at a small betta bowl blown up in size.

yeah waiting for them to grow, i dont want to get so much, and a month later throw them all away]
