    Thank you

    Yes I do. Some plants are more susceptible to the thinning than others.

    Wow, that has really filled in nicely. I would imagine it takes some time to keep all the plants trimmed back now. Great job though as always.

    Thank you, I spend about an hour a week on average trimming. I do not do a buzz cut as many planted tank keepers do.

    Well I have neglected this thread recently. Here are a couple of new shots. A major trim is coming for this tank.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    LOL John.

    That tank has gone nuts. I might be a little afraid the lagoon monster would climb out at night.

    It's beautiful.


    How long do you think it will take to trim it up?

    I expect 2 to 3 hours since I am going to thin/clean up and replant the foreground plants on the right. I believe I may be doing the same for a few other groups.
