Well just a small update.

Algae news: the green algae on the glass is disappearing quite well- especially for how much I had! The BBA is sort of dying of, but not by much.
Plants: the jungle vals are growing again , and the new vals are not melting too badly I don't think. There are a LOT of new runners down there though :P. The rotala is bouncing back from the uber light time lol. The java fern is bouncing back where it was looking dead form whatever algae was on it.
Moss: the moss I tied single layered is doing VERY well, goring quickly and quite fully. I like it . It is covered in BBA in some spots though- hopefully that won't do too much damage.
Rescape: Well I didn't like how the small piece of wood went right into the corner, so I mixed two jobs together and got 'er done. I spread out the dwarf hairgrass a bit by taking the big clumps and tearing them into smaller ones. I did the same for the glosso only on a much larger scale. I planted only pairs of leaves, or single nodes for the most part and when all the glosso was out of the tank I moved the wood to pull it out of the corner. IMO it looks better this way.



Let me know what you think!
