And done.
Wood and epiphytes removed, Old plants and new repotted into glass vases. Feels cleaner, lighter and brighter, plus the discus are easier to see (even when they are hiding behind pots) and their colours are popping a bit more. They do not seem too disturbed by the changes.
Plant list:
Crypt wendtii Tropica
Crypt spiralis “Red”
Echinodorus barthii
Echinodorus unknown green
Echinodorus Rose
Echinodorus Ozelot
Alternanthera reineckii Pink
Unknown crypts
Crinum calamistratum

Small aesthetic update.
I installed a decorative lattice above my tank for the Monstera Aurea and Thai Constellation growing out the top, to climb on (eventually). I didn’t know if they would do much with the lighting I set up (the room is pretty dark otherwise), but they are growing slowly and keeping some variegation as well. The curtain on the right has to stay as it is hiding an unsightly electrical panel.

I also re-homed my black and gold lazer cories and put in 8 albinos … in keeping with the theme of light and bright!

The plants are doing well, with minimal algae. The vases and plexi stands are easy to wipe off, as is the tank bottom and sides so all is well in this little world of beauty: )
