Great shots as always, however clarity of the water column looks to have dropped alittle though? Or is it just my eyes dropping off due to age..lol
2 questions regarding density planting.
Once they reach larger growth potentials, do you expect to see die back where they meet with eachother. Or they dont get much bigger to start with?
This type of arrangement means fish cant / dont make a bid to get through it, so 1/2 your tank (in this case) is sectioned forward for swimming only?[/QUOTE]
i think it's just the pics, water is still very clear
definitely, dieback at the base of the stems is always a concern as the plants grow. as the mass builds, lower parts of the plant wont get enough light. this is one of those longterm issues with planted tanks. as of now, everything is doing good. ill just have to play it by ear as time goes on. if i see certain plants not doing too well, i may have to move them around, or even trim and replant, throwing away the bottom portion of the plant and keeping the top part only.
pretty much, i'm going for the dense jungle look which means the fish are forced to stay in the front. i guess it works out though because it means they cant be hiding all day
