    Hey! Where you been hiding this tank? Nice start man. Get some closeup shots of the plants you are not sure about.

    That's a nice piece of wood! I would suggest you cut those long stems in half and replant the cuttings. It will get nice and bushy soon.

    What ferts are you using? You asked a page back wether you should plant more plants. If you still have those crypts plant them in and around that wood.

    Thanks very much. If you are going to stick with Seachem then get the rest of the range (Flourish, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Trace) and dose as per their dosing chart on their website rather than the bottle instructions.

    Hey man. Coming along nicely. As I said before, just keep cutting those long stems and replanting and you will have a jungle soon....
