    Your scape looks great.
    Please save me a piece of the rotala when you ever trim it.

    Thanks peeps.
    @Rudi I still have some gaps to plug, so I'm still at the trim and replant stage.

    Thanks Bugman! Just wish I could capture the true colours especially the reds. Can't do that with a simple cell camera.

    Thanks @BugMan. There are 10x Galaxy rasboras and 10x Emerald dwarf rasboras in there. They were a bit skittish when I took the pics and hid in between the plants.

    @Wyvren - Thanks Angie! I hope the reds stay red and fill out more. The lighting is now 1w/litre.
