And this...... is why I can't fill the chamber in the back with foam..
(16oz can next to the plant for size reference)

The two biggest pieces were on the far right side and looked lop sided so I cut the big plant into about 6 pieces so I could even out the placement in the tank.


The plant itself is 24" tall and including roots is roughly 37" tall


I actually tried planting the tallest directly in the substrate but it looks like I am going to need to wait a while (another 8" or so) before I can plant it directly in the substrate.







I am leaving this tank open top so I love how the plants hang over the top of the tank. They will rest on top of new LED light and help hide it. The tank itself will be very well lit but have a really natural feel.


The sand and stones look far better IMO than they did before. I still need to go pick up a new heater though. I have lots of extra manzanita I will mess around with over the next few days to see how it looks before I get the new lights. I just dumped everything back in the tank so nothing has been scaped yet..

I need to hide the spray bar better too. I think I will run the pothos in front of it for the time being until everything fills in.
