Looks fantastic Errol!
Thanks you, plants have grown in quite a bit.
I will update a picture soon to reflect that.
Errol
P.S. again I appeal to all who keep planted tanks to share a picture or 2 with us, there is quite a few that have planted tanks that others will be happy to see & learn - it`s not a competition guys, it`s about sharing & promoting your passion in the hobby

Very Nice Errol! I like how it transitions from green to orange and red in the back!

Very nice Errol. What's that open-ended lily pipe on the left, is it the intake?

thanks all, picture is not of quality it should be but just wanted to share.
The open end pipe is a result of the lily part broke & I cut it .

Sometime in Nov/Dec. I got a pot of Pogo (about 5 or 6 plants)that was almost dead with yellowing leaves, I bought it since I was looking for it locally after farming it before.
here is what those half dead pogo look like now in fluval substrate that has done it`s thing since 2011.I`m over the moon

Regards
I have already pulled a few for someone

Is that pogo you bought in scarborough? If you ever have some shoots you don't need...

Have to admit yes ;) ........


















but they grow too fast for me & cannot keep up with the weekly pruning, hence why I like pogo  :)

 That looks absolutely amazing. I showed the pictures to my wife and she said "Why can't you do something like that". I smiled and shook my head. Well done.
