Love it, great job Eric.
It sure filled in since I saw it.

Awesome tank. Very natural looking.
Is that an ADA Aquasky light on the other tank in the last picture?!

Thanks, Yup, it's the aquasky 601.
I like this tank a lot! You did a great job arranging the rocks, and the two plants work very well together. Harmony.
All you guys posting nice pics of your tanks makes me feel bad about neglecting my tanks over the summer ...
Very nice scape Eric! Where did you get the rocks from? Its a very cool looking masterpiece! I'm glad to see the H. Tripatita is taking off! Looks amazing :)

Thanks I got the rocks from BA's a while back, and I've used them a couple of time over. But I also added new ones to group them all together and create a mound. Giving the illusion that it's more rock than it actually is. Then I filled in the gaps with aquasoil. The tripartite sp at one point just exploded. I think trimming it makes it grow faster. Very elegant and easy plant.
Wow. Just saw the picks. It really looks great. Wouldn't that tank look good on your main floor somewhere? How 'bout near the kitchen so you can enjoy it all the time. Just asking....

Thanks, but in all honesty it's a lot of maintenance. Especially to keep the HC rooted, which is why I threw in some hydrocotyle, and it's helped. But the hydrocotyle grows fast, and is now out-competing the HC. There's only so much you can do to control plants.

Thanks, the pics are actually deceiving, it quite large. It's 20x20x20" all around. Besides, like yourself, I've been relegated to the dungeon with my hobby because the WC's wreck the hardwood floors.
:(
Very nice Eric!
It's too nice to be in the basement for sure.
