beautiful setup, wouldnt mind seeing a picture with teh wood showing out the top too

That is beautiful. But I have a question. Did you have any difficulty in getting the hairgrass to grow thick in the shade and did you plan or do anything for that?

I ask because I recently had an experience where I planted glosso in the foreground of a small tank and had a small amazon sword in a corner. At first the glosso did great and spread quickly but soon the sword plant got established and grew so large that it took over half the the tank and really shaded the glosso which began tp suffer. It taught me to be really careful when planning an aquascape. Anyway, once again, that is a beautiful scape.

Thanks for the comments!

Hi Jur4ik, this tank is ranked in 383 possition.

Anupam is true that the shadow does not benefit any plant for the foreground.
In this case the Eleocharis withers in the shade also helps the plants back (rotate sp.green) have a very rapid growth, pruning is very frequent (every 10 days).
