Yep, same for me

I've tried in the past taking screenshots and emailing them off as examples but still the black text continues, just highlight it to read;)
Yeah, that's what I do... guess the pain of it can be tolerated as brother Tequila is tolerating our colours on his pale theme ;) Compromise is the essence of good relationships :)

Where do you get these sayings from?

I'm going to post another shot of the tank, re-planted even though I don't like it, too much of one plant for my liking, bare with me I'm waiting for the pigeon blood to finally die
 
The Micranthemum is starting to root from the top, so I've taken some cuttings from it and planted them up(behind the wood on the right). The polysperma is everywhere, I need to get something else to break the tank up a bit as it all looks the same. It does look a little sparse at the moment as I cut everything back and replanted a lot of it but in a week or two once everything has rooted properly, I won't be able to see any fish:

You are determined to make it impossible for us to read your posts, eh? :)

Here's how it appears for me... it must be the same for Yanbbrox as well...

That looks readable to me. I don't understand how you guys go to other threads and read there type but here you can't read anything that isn't in these *** colors what's up with that?

:confused: It's only the black text that's the problem, plus we've already got a work around with the highlighting;)

Plant your plants closer together, tighter, you know in clumps sort of.

Tank criticisms anyone?

I guess I shouldn't especially knowing what I know, and trying to figure the best wayto put it. But see above. You really don't have as many plants or plant as you think, plant them in tighter grouping. Feed the cuttings to George instead of replanting if you feel you have too much already. Want more criticism;) Remember I like to plant a forest and let it grow into a jungle.

:confused:What do you know? I'm worried:nilly:

Trust me on this, give it a week or so and it will be a jungle, but I agree it looks a mess the way it is, hence why I've been holding off on the picture, but i had to post it to keep the thread updated.

I've only took cuttings from the Micranthemum to fill the background more and it grows like crazy with the flourish, as well as the polysperma. Once everything is sorted and growing nicely then the planted tank would be keeping the cost of Georgey boy's food down;)

Thanks for the advise, on the planting and criticize away, there's far too much of 'that tanks cool, great job etc'. at times, it's refreshing to hear that tank could be better if....
