Thank you Mark, its a big hit with my wife too - much more so than my first scape.Mark Evans said:Very pretty Ray.
Actually, the red plant (A. Reiniki) is a bargain bin fragment there for fun, next to it is Ludwigia Repens 'Rubin' - now that should go red, if I get the light right! The rotola rotundifolia should transition from emersed too, but no sign yet... Actually I don't want it to - it is beautiful just as it is...I somehow feel though, the red plant should be more central?

Ha ha - so you were holding something back? Well let's see what happens, easy enough to add a terrace back LHS if necessary.Mark Evans said:Ray said:What do you think of the sandy area on the left hand side? My better half thinks it throws things off balance.
honestly?...yes, it does throw the eye a little, and the A. Reiniki in it's current position exaggerates it. The later problem can be sorted.
