Re: Planted Journal : Woodland
Everything looking nice. But there is no place for Anubias in the left side. What about the foreground plants?

Waiting for Glosso to fill in the fore ground..........Anubiuas will be removed...... looking forward for some tips on the foreground part..... it is really taking time to fill in.....the substrate might be responsible for it....

Re: Planted Journal : Woodland
Please post a clear picture only of foreground. If I am not wrong, Glosso is growing upward. Move your light to front area. How thick is layer of sand in front area?

Re: Planted Journal : Woodland
You have to provide direct strong light and lower ph to spread it as foreground.
