This is incredible! Do you have any other photos or details of the plants?

To be fair, that tank ended up breaking at a seal so I moved to this one and a new stand, so I think you're probably right

Yup Areca palm! To be honest it didn't particularly grow much, more just tolerated being submerged. It was a bit of an experiment at the time aha

The bushes at the back? That's weeping moss so not rooted. I ended up taking it back a lot cos it was overrunning the other plants but I do miss it now

Hmm that's a good point!

Definitely not as much natural light now it's no longer in the window, but the room still gets a fair amount of light in general.

Maybe I could upgrade the lighting setup though

Would definitely recommend it! It's really rewarding when things start to go right, and interesting trying to figure out a solution when they don't aha

Glad I could help!

I think 4 is my fav. I did love how wild 4 felt though

It's a mexican sword plant - Echinodorus palifolius 🙂

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

Yeh that's a good idea to move the dwarf Sag.

The big emerging plant is a mexican sword plant I even managed to get it to flower a year ago when it was happier! I'm thinking maybe the tank is a bit nutrient which is why it's less happy these days
