What M. variety is that? It looks like Neon but it’s HUGE

It’s a blue neon. My boys have been getting big. I’m angry over this because he was so big.
Wow. The neons I have are 1/4 of that size, I wonder if there’s different varietals of the neon

I’ve had them about 5 years.
A lot of red in this section. Could use some spacing out, or replacing with other colors

Yeah, the Furcata or the Natans is on the chopping block. I changed a lot on Monday and I have 6 new plants coming in this week. I’m also going to try and make the Tulu wider and bigger. I’m not sure where to use the Ludwigia Palusteris green (actually more yellow), it might be on the chopping block too. I’ll have my wife snap a picture when she gets up.

@gjcarew
Does this spacing work better? Left Palusteris is just there to keep healthy. Seems like I’ll need to cut a red at least.

I definitely think it looks better, it’s not drawing your focus completely to one section of the tank.
That spacing is better but now you have pretty stark symmetry between the ludwigia palustris on the left, the ludwigia natans on the right, and the samolus parvifloris in the center. Getting rid of one of the ludwigia and moving the samolus parvifloris off center would help IMO

Agree. I’m going to use the lotus for the focus. Waiting on it to grow.

The palustris is there just to grow. Was the only open spot to place it. Didn’t even notice I moved a plant dead center
. Ugh, try again next week…- Thread starter

Tank arrived yesterday and was able to build the stand. Either I’ll pay my neighbor or a local fish store to help me move it up from the garage so I can get a leak test started.
2x Netlea AT6 Pro’s in the mail and just need to pickup a few bags of BDBS and some cheap media. I’ll probably go 30ppi Sponge for simplicity.
Side space is a bit limited so I’ll need to grab an ATO like @Art has. And hopefully, a CO2 tank can fit in there. I’ll measure when I get home.

Very pumped for you that’s an awesome setup, for sponge are you going with regular cheap stuff or springing for Poret foam?

I use it as partitions in my sump, works great very sturdy and holds its shape. I’ve had it since 2020 and looks and feels the same way it did when I bought it. Lots of options of what to do with it and the seller is awesome and knowledgeable.
