    Hi all,

    I'm in a bit of conflict with myself... Want more plants!!! But don't have space, sigh!
    I keep on browsing aquatic plant sites, and my mouth is watering (excuse the pun) when I see all the species I don't have.

    What do you guys do? Buy more tanks?? Lol

    I tend to do a rescape once a year - I take that time to search for what I like, what I want, what we can get, what is not on our BL. Then I start looking for the right wood, rocks and once I have that I start sourcing the plants.

    I normally pass it along to a new home, plants for free, wood it depends, rocks also depends. Also it depends on how the wood aged, if its still fine then I pass it on, if its started to rot I throw it out.

    This weekend, but unfortunately I will be using most of the plants again, the wood I wont pass along since it was covered in BBA that keeps coming back, and if I do, I have someone who will want it already - sowwy!

    Yup...collectoritus :laugh:

    What happens is you land up with tanks/buckets or any other container full of cuttings because you no longer have place to plant the cuttings...then you see that plant you just must have...what do you do...more tanks!
