thanks james... glad u like it... i had the vals in another tanks so got few of them here and got that star bamboo grass in cant wait for them to start filling like a carpet... i saw ur thread you have sand in there with the plants?! i was under the impression that plants dont do very well with sand......... any advice i have some amazon swords which i would like to go in there and planning on getting some anubias as well....

Sand is excellent for plants. They like really fine substrates. There just isn't any nutrients in sand, so you have to either dose or use root tabs, or both.

DIgging the rock formation and that driftwood looks like an ancient face/head.
