    @Vez your plants are looking awesome, hydrocotyle never lasts in my tank always ends up floating.
    @azurekoi they are doing great even displaying mating behavior.

    Small Update:

    all the plants are doing very well, added two small reflectors to the lights (10,000K and GroLux) and the plants love the xtra light!

    @Vez I envy your planted aquarium...I see you are from Krugersdorp, I stay in the Roodepoort area, I have a 4 foot that has just finished cycling, I would love to have something similar that you have, please give me some tips on lighting and gravel and where the best pet shop is to buy it from in our area. I always fail with plants and they die off. It will be appreciated. Thanks

    You have something special going here matey, well done. I really like the splash of colour the Nympaea adds. That rummy nose tetra in front of the pot (left side of pic) looks huge :)
