Quick scape to shh the people up and show them a feel of what the tank MAY look like. Yes yes the scape will be changed and the rock layout will be altered and moved accordingly and different rocks put in instead but was a quickie to give me a feel of what I am working with.

View from further back in my room Starting to like this planted tank scene

How it sat within the first month of being planted;

And how it is now;

Still have Rotala Colorata, Rotala Mini Type 1, Pogo Helferi, more UG, Erio Micro, and also some fissidens to go in there and fill it up nicely as well as that tonina floating on the surface and if there is room to cram the belem in then sure the belem floating as well can go in there Give it a month and it will start to look filled in and nearly finished (about fricken time). Have had severe algae issues with this tank even though it does not look it and am far from impressed with how this tank is going at the moment unfortunately. It will all pick up soon
