Setup this tank last weekend,
Simple setup, but a nice start to this planted tank I think.
I have not had a planted tank in about 4 years now.

I've never used any ferts or special substrate and had pretty good luck so I'm sure your's will take off nicely. You and I have the same aquascaping style so I can really appreciate what you have going on there.

roflmaoroflmaoroflmaoOk, if you figure it out, please post. It seems to be a really pretty one. I do understand the name thing. I have lots of plants and don't know the names of most of them!

I really like the looks of that tank. Is that moss tied to a piece of driftwood on the right?

Tank looks really nice, I like the huge amount of moss you have on that log. And the bolbitis, that is one of my favorite plants, it's so unique-looking. Have you thought about putting anything in the rear of the tank? One thing that I noticed about corner tanks is that when I look at the back I feel like I'm peering into an abyss. Maybe you could try some rotala indica/rotundifolia back there. It will add some color (yellows and reds at the top of the stems), and it's pretty easy to grow in low light and no CO2. I could hook you up with some next time I trim my tank up if you want.
where did you get this stand, looks nice. thx
