Really nice. I saw this tank in person about two weeks back and honestly the pictures do not show justice to this beautiful tank. Good job mate.
Cheers

thanks Seetharam. I know the old tank for sure looks better, but this one is just 20 days old so needs some time to mature.
I was out of town and ran out of fertz. Right now the tank is getting back on track. I will post an update in a month after i return from KL. |

Looking good man. That single stem right in the center is a little distracting. Hope you have moved it. I love the wild look of rest of the tank tough.

I am glad you said wild, that's what i am trying to achieve and i wanted the entire tank to look like that. That is the reason i removed the rottalas as well and yes that single stem has been removed. |

Thanks! Just wanted to have the tank look more wild so replaced it with a mountain of christmas moss.
The plant on the right is Blyxa Aubertii |
