i really like this idea. my mom is into feng shui a bit, and whether or not i buy into the whole thing, it certainly is peaceful

Default Photo update January 22, 2007

Dang work; forgot to update. Here's a not so recent pic (taken 1/22/07):



Slight plant rearrangement. Recent additions as of this photo are Rotala macrandra (the red plant close to the center), Eriocaulon cinereum (can't see it yet), Cyperus helferi (hidden in the back), & Tonina fluvatilis. Plants are beginning to start using water column macro ferts more.

I'm close to a new update already, probably this coming weekend.

Forgive me for not commenting in an insightful manner. I'm really too much of a plant newbie to even begin to know what to say, so I'll just tell you that I think it seems to be coming along nicely. Also, I really like the Rotala macrandra that you planted near the center of the tank.
