Feels like its been forever since i updated this thread even though its only been 3 months...

Anyway, got a bit annoyed with cynobacteria constantly growing in certain patches starting at the C.Albida and spreading, so ripped all the front section up and replanted it with only Bucephalandra since what i had started was getting clumped up and could do with some space to grow...

So pics of the tank from last update:

Pic of the tank today - after moving certain hardscape back:

Btw, the tank water is clear, just that the daylight is effecting the picture quality, so will tru and update again tonight with better pics...

Thanks Gourami Swami Gourami Swami the buce is already starting to show signs of coloring up again since being moved around... so hopefully by christmas will see some proper colors popping for the update shot...

Now just need to deal with the Anubias starting to show signs of growing algae *sigh*

And a PITA to buy...
Over here its becoming quite accessible after few LFS’ got in contact (with what i think is a distributor) called NK or something like that... so a lot more varieties for slightly more reasonable prices...
