nice work george, how do you think the glosso will go under the t5's, even under 4x 54w grow lux with spider reflectors mine seemd to go stringy after about 7-8months (guess the t5's lost output).

is that goldvine used as the drift wood in the midground?

Very nice George. Will you have access to this tank in the future so you can post some updated pics?

Thankyou all.

Illusion, Glosso is showing growth with healthy runners spreading accross the ADA Aqua Soil Powder. Im confident the quad T5's for 10hrs a day will grow the Glosso nicely. Yes Goldne Vine was presoaked and used for this scape.

Ado, Access should be available for regular updates. I plan on doing the first big trim as part of our tutorial for the client. Might be lucky enough to record a video of the event to add to our tutorial guides on www.slipperylittlesuckers.com/video.html

Kind regards,
George

Thanks Illusn,

I have suggested the scape receives a light prune here and there now. Thinning out some of the Blyxa to re-establish the glosso path through the valley.

The Rotala sp. Green stem plants are thick and dense, but still has some growing in height to be seen behind the midground hardscape and Anubias / wood.
