John starkey 450lts 112g journal new pics 10/5/2009

Make sure you get ones that come from Holland, Germany or Czech. The ones from the middle east are poor quality and don't last.

Thanks Fred, can the origin be determined by markings?
 
No. You just have to ask and trust the shop where the Rams came from. Most Maidenhead aquatics will be more than happy to oblige.

If this was your first attempt at a planted tank, I'd hate to see it when you get more experience :lol: .
To give it a go with such a big tank must have been daunting at the start.
Hats off to you, you've done a great job :D

whats the back plant forming the 'wall'. its looking like a thinner version of vallis, but much much more attractive.

That's a pretty good shot for an i-phone.

Your plants look happy too. I haven't seen anybody use C. helferi in a layout in some time and yours is beautiful.

how tall has it grown for you? it might prove somethng to fill a gap i have!

Hi Nick,the tank is 60cm tall and the c,helferi must be at least 90cm long,
regards john.
