wOW! It's looking amazing, and if you ever need anyone to take your plants, hey, I'd be happy to take them whenever you don't need them. :) great job and looking forward to more updates.

thanks!

i would give u a whole bunch for free but u have to come get them yourself! i made a classified on my local fish fourm, 20 stems of hygrophilia for $5. i also give away free plants as well.

i will update next time i trim my plants.

i started with 3 hygros for $5.. 3 crypts for $5. big ball of java moss 5$, few java fern $5, some of the other plants i got for free or traded some stuff to fellow Vancouver aquarists. plants are expansive at the LFS but u can get them dirt cheap if u know people with planted tanks. every week or so they will trim their plants. like myself they need to give them away/sell them or they go into the garbage. i can get lots and lots of plants for dirt cheap if i wait long enough on my local forum. i bought my first plants from the LFS that's why their so expansive..as u first read.. most of the plants u see in my tank are just trimmings from older plants that i replanted next to them. this is also something u can do with ur trimmings if u dont wish to sell/give away or throw out..

if u have anymore questions please feel free to ask.
