Last one. The left side. There's few big bit's of driftwood in there .....somewhere under those Anubias.

Been doing alot of work on the big tank. I'm probably going to enter it in this years AGA contest, so it's being lavished with attention.

Whats the stocklist for the tank?

About the big sword on the left, do you like it? If you didn't could you just cut it pretty close to the bottom, so you can't really see it, it look a little "iffish" imo...

That's incredible! How long did it take to mature to this level?

The tanks been running for a year now. It's been in different variations of this aquascape for a few months. (The plants get moved from place to place)


Whats the stocklist for the tank?

Err....don't ask it's overstocked

About the big sword on the left, do you like it? If you didn't could you just cut it pretty close to the bottom, so you can't really see it[/qoute]
Not that simple I'm afraid. Cutting it that way would kill it. The bottom and roots left in the tank and substrate would rot and cause a mess whch would basically destroy the tank. The only way is coming out is with a complete tank tear down. Someday, but not up for that yet.

more importantly, how the hell do you clean it?

If you mean gravel vacs, it doesn't get any as such. Just twirl the pump around to raise any loose dirt and detritus on leaves. All that "muck" is plant nutrients ! 50% water change weekly. KNO3 is added every second day otherwise Nitrates would read zero.
