    Your tank is looking beautiful! I'm amazed at the amount of red showing now.

    Thanks. I think I have a good nutrient mix in my tap water and from feeding plus using an UVL Actinic White as one of the bulbs doesn't hurt since it produces a pinkish colored light.

    Looks really good. Did you have to trim and replant allot?

    Not too much, I pulled out from runners two bunches of Rotala rotundifolia of about 20 stalks each and trimmed about 40 stalks also. I removed about 20 stalks of Ambulia also from runners. I trimmed and replanted 3 or 4 of the Hygrophila on the front right. And did the same amount with the Rotala wallichi on the right side.
