i think the red plant at the back is Rotala rotundifolia, lovely looking tank set up its giving me some great idea's for my new tank setup well done :thumbup:
 
hi jonesy ... its good to see that my scape gave you an idea :), this is my first planted tank but sadly it was tore down 1 month ago due to specific reason.
 
hey guys ! Thanks for the compliment. I'm now slowly gathering the necessity for my new tank. 8) Plan to have it up by year end.
 
looks really nice :)

I like how you are not afraid to go back in a change things if they don't look quite right as they grow in ;)
