Yeah, I got a few really fast growing plants so that I can use their runners to fill in.

Nice, love the black sand. What type of substrate is that?

Yeah looks great!! Substrate's a nice colour, and is that a Crinium aquatica or onion plant behind the centre piece of drift wood? If so I'm getting one soon.
