Monster Planted Setups?

[Esco]

Ammania gracilis.

Feeling really lazy right now, but I can throw up a livestock list later, and setup list if anyone wants.

whats that grass-like plant in the center? is it fairly easy to grow and to root in?

 

[WyldFya]

There isn't a grass like plant in the middle. Are you referring to the ground cover?

WyldFya can we get any more pictures when you get time?
Maybe some close ups?

I want to get my 150 gallon tank planted but that's going to take a bit of time yet.

I'll get some new pics up when I get back home.

I have two tanks (215 and 90) totally planted with Java Fern. The 215 has a 2 foot driftwood tree stump in the midst. (Took me over a year to waterlog the stump.) I like Java Fern, as its the only stuff thick enough that my Bluegills can't destroy, and the plecos can't eat holes in. I love the green, and the fish like to go into it if they want some peace and quiet.

I envy those who have better success with various plants, but this works for me.

Likewise JRMunroe, java fern and java moss are two of the few plants i tend to have success with. They seem to cope so well with very little lights and the most unsuitable environments.

I don't even want to think about how much was put into this tank just knowing what I have put into my planted 125g.
