changed tank setup (w pix)

[finfan]

i have changed my tank setup in my 30 gallon tall planted tank after i got 130watt aqualight (this tank was set up originally 6 months ago)

obviously i am new compared to most of you, so please don't make too much fun, my favorite is the "tree" in the right hand corner

It looks really nice. You did a great job. I love the curved corner tanks. Are those Koi angels?

Good job. Do you know what type of plant is in the back middle?

Re: changed tank setup (w pix)

thanks ed and arm

ed - those were sold as marble koi, the koi coloration is more yellow than orange unlike "standard" koi angels

arm, i think you are talking about the crypt lucens, i got those 6 months ago, about 3 bunches, but i had less than 1w/gal, so they did not grow much but they did root well and sent out roots and new little slow growing baby plants showed up at various places in the tank, i am hoping now with 4w/gal they will really take off, the other plants are:

left/right front/tree top: anubias nana - 6 months old, all three have doubled in size and have flowered regularly every 5 to 6 weeks, my favorite
back left: regular amazon sword - bought new
middle foreground: dwarf hairgrass - bought new

Re: changed tank setup (w pix)

thanks nacra, i am so glad i positioned the mopani upright instead of horizontal (that is how it was previously),  since the tank is high, this set up makes it look bigger than when it was horizontally placed, its amazing how little changes can make a tank look bigger/smaller, also previously it used to look like there is nothing after the first 5 or 6 inches from substrate, please feel free to make any suggestions
