WOW! Looks incredible!

Also, what do you mean by "bad picture quality". That is GREAT quality!

Hi all,

I work at an aquaculture research facility and I thought I'd share a few pictures of the 400 litre display tank that I've been responsible for for the past 5 years. There's a minimal hardscape, it's almost entirely vallisneria plants. I planted a couple about 3 years ago, alongside other plants, but the vallis took over and I like the look, there is no CO2 and no fertilizer input. Apologies for the picture quality, my phone is 5 years old and cheap.

Have you measured the length of the leaves to see how long they are? I have some val which are around 1.2m long so are still manageable, no need to trim them just yet. I've been told that if you trim it, the affected leaves will die - any truth to that?

That looks awesome. Too bad you just missed the entry period for the tank of the month. That would be an easy win IMO.

That's what I think of when I think planted tank. A thick jungle. All that Vallisneria looks great so thick.

I love your underwater jungle!! I’ve had some vals in the back corner of one of my tanks for the past six months but they aren’t taking anything over yet. I do hope to get a similar effect in my tank eventually though.View attachment 304737
