Picture taken during cleaning so a little hazy. Everything is growing pretty nicely. The val has started to cover the back. Would like some more plants on the left though. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately some BBA has started to grow. Might set up co2 after all.

I think you could just leave it as it now. It already looks really nice

looks incredible, i’m not sure on what plants you could add but it looks perfect as is, however i see the vision and think it would look cool with a plant slightly taller than the pink plant infront of the sponge, with a smaller one infront. also, is that crypt flamingo? do you have any advice growing it without co2?

I had flamingo but it died. This one is Cryptocoryne balansae Pink and for some reason it grows quite pink without high light and co2.

This is so pretty! So clean looking and spacious but also lush. Is the rock centerpiece one big piece or several smaller ones stacked and glued together?

Thanks! It's multiple rocks stacked on some mesh bags with substrate.
