Have to trim and move some plants around. I raised the lights finally and now some of the plants have responded by growing up instead of out.

What do you think?

Once you go Dutch you can't stop trimming.

Red plants needed to add definition, break up some of the green, otherwise looking great Franny

Thanks.
I have one red lotus that is growing up and some other red plants floating.

I'm looking for a dark crypt...can't think of the name right now.

Looking great! Definitely needs a trim, but looking good otherwise. A few red plants wouldn't hurt, like Rob mentioned, but I'll be interested to see how much definition you get purely by trimming and creating some negative space...

Agreed -- looks incredible! Where's my snorkel, a 120G is almost big enough to swim in, right? :mrgreen:
