POST PICS OF YOUR PLANTS AND PLANTED TANKS HERE

I see some planted tanks with sand? are they sand? if so don't you need to go through the sand to release bubbles and mess everything up? also are they good for the roots? since sand can compact...
 
This is getting too much! Yet again my friend Louie, wants me to post some pics of the tank. The tank uses a external filter, but that's all I know!

Got some plants in the mail today, they were shipped tuesday and were outside for a while today, but nothing was frozen. Hoping they get a little better color, I need some suggestions please.

36 square inches of microsword, i spread it out and am hoping for a carpet to form.

along the back is some wisteria, some long val, giant hairgrass and some red ludwigia.

Ive been drinking, so I will have to rescape tomorrow, the P's are loving it at the moment darting about the
groups of the microsword. I am not sure if i should consolidate it all in one side of the tank and leave some clean open space, maybe a mossy piece of driftwood accented by the hairgrass?

besides what I can see visually damaged, whats the cons of moving these plants around?

pretty neat setup Conner, how big is that Goby?....first time I've seen a setup with a ray in a planted tank. Looks very cool.

The goby's about 16-17 inches and growing every day, it seems :)

The ray's only in there until I can build her her own tank. I'm going to be getting a male soon, and will be looking to mate. The new tank is planned to be in the 8'x3'x2' size range. I will probably try to put some large swords in it, and maybe some floating hornwort, just because I love planted tanks, and they help keep the water so damn clean!
