    This is the kind of branch look I was thinking of, but perhaps a longer piece could be used to add focus and to break the plant mass look. Check out how they have balanced the plants through the tank, duplicating some plants and individually featuring others ...

    Don't much go for their square looking log though

    Good call, white clouds are going to be a great match for your set-up, a stunning very under rated fish I think.

    I see golden white clouds are also coming onto the market...ask Altum

    Now that's coming along very well. What's the maintenance like on that tank?

    Time consuming,a labour of love and hate sometimes.
    I'll have to sit down and make that plant list again.Could take a while.

    Hey bud, no need to put yourself through that list again, I see you did include a list much earlier in the thread which I had missed, perhaps you could simply paste that list again in a revised order as now planted, if that's easier. Those previous pics were really stunning, especially this one . Your post is actually most annoying, as it has inspired me to pull half my tank down, loose all my giant amazons and start again, dam you !
