So 24 hours after adding 3ppm of ammonia it goes to .25 ammonia & .25 nitrites. Getting really close!

[Ch4rlie]

Lovely!!!
 
C'mon, hurry up and get them planted
 
Nah, only joking, your tank will come alive when the plants are added

How many crypt wendtii green did you order?  The amount in that bag looks like what I'd regard as about 1-2 portions but I'm sure you ordered more than that.  Different supplier standards I guess.

Me either! Just need to decide how I want to do them >.< I'm terrible at scaping.

2x Java Fern [$5.30]
4x Java Fern Windelov [$11.00]
2x Vesuvius Sword [$8.50] (Didn't post individual pic of this since it's meant for different tank)
3x Tiger Lotus Red [$11.25]
7x Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green [$15.05]
7x Cryptocoryne Wendtii Red [$15.05]
1x Cryptocoryne Balansae [$3.00]
3x Red/Roundleaf Ludwigia [$7.05]
1x Amazon Sword [$2.20]

Totalled out to $82.90 -- I have put the prices as I'd like to hear if this seems fair or not.
I think this would've been over 100$ at my LFS but not 100% sure ofcourse. Not to mention I couldn't get all of this at once, or brought right to my door, or labelled.

$15 would buy only 2-3 potted plants from Aquaessentials here in the UK but just one of those plants will often have as many stems as you've got in that bag.  Can't really compare suppliers from different countries though!

Nope! The placement of the caves and wood was my dads doing. Though I was the one who put the piece that used to be on the right onto the left..glad I did. Dad is great with these sort of things ^.^

Hmm, it is hard to compare. Ah well, I am very pleased with them and suppose that's what matters?

 Any ideas on placement btw?
