    Thanks! I might have tied mine on a little too thickly, I'll trim it tight and see if that helps with new growth, and if it doesn't perk up after that I can start again, I suppose. I like the wisteria in there, I might just try that for distracting from the filter instead of the rotala indica and see if I can keep it trimmed down enough for that to work. Maybe eventually replace it with something tall and thin, sort of bamboo-looking... hrrrmmmm.

    I find myself wishing that this tank were bigger, for once...hahah. Nano blasphemy! A bigger tree would help the scale issues so much. I agree it would look pimp if the tree were big enough to put the japonica in front of it, but yeah. Maybe the pics aren't showing it, I was taking them from a sort of top-down angle, but I've only got about 2.5-3 inches of trunk, and the japonica as it is will bury it.

    I like the brightwell. We had a very small start-up ammonia reading, but it was a blip and the soil has been making me pretty happy since. Aside from the lightness of it, that's irritating me, it's a pain to plant and arrange- this is Rio escuro-F. I might go with a bigger size, were I to buy it again.

    I've got some little microsword, not sure what kind but I'll probably throw it in and see how it looks. And by 'throw it in', I mean meticulously f* with it for 3 hours to get it to stay where I want it in this soil. Man, I wish I had some planting tongs!! Lol

      i good set of tweezers helps, i cant find my old stuff so i am using these damn curved feeder tweezers that have grabby ridges on them. all it does is pull the blyxa and DHG back out. i need some pimp needle nose tweezers. and some upside down amano ninjas.

      hmm a really BIG bonsai tree you say? that would be fun. too bad i dont have a 30" x 24" x 30" aquarium lying around. i could go all hobbit hole on that one

        I have no idea what that is (ADG goodness of some kind, I'm sure)....but it just gave me the greatest mental picture. Takashi Amano would be so scary, upside down and dressed like a ninja? Let alone plural?! I'd probably die of fear on the spot.

        And YES, hobbit hole!! That's what got me fixated on the tree in the first place, that's the most beautiful tank I've ever seen.

            Ah. Yes, that makes more sense.
