Love it! I do tend to opt more for live plants, but yours looks great. Kudos!

My tiger barbs are destroying my anubia. Every new little leaf that tries to unfurl is soon consumed. Arghhhh!
Firstly I would like to say well done in redoing your tank
I am not a fan of plastic plants i'm afraid. Think how awesome it would look with low maintenance plants like twisted vallis, cabomba, wisteria and anubias (even though I managed to kill mine
) Maybe something to look into.
My tiger barbs keep my wisteria under control lol.

Im a fan of plastic /silk plants but i think there is way too much colour in there .
i tend to stay with 2 colours green & purple/red , look really well with my black sand .
I do like your set-up though well done .
End of the day if you have just invested in new plastic plants ..Enjoy them for a while & move over to live plants when your ready !!!
Im loving my silk plants at the min ,have only been into this hobby/addiction since January of this year & have just upgraded from a 90l to a 200l & will go live plants probably in a year .
Enjoy your set up

This is my 200l tank with mostly 'Sydeco' silk & plastic plants .
Only been set up for 5 days ,moved from my 90l & obviously the set up now looks a bit daft as my plants look a bit small as the tank is very deep so i am going to invest in 40/50cm silk sydeco plants & buy a large centrepiece bogwood .
Think i will attach some live moss onto it & see how i go with it .
Like i said in my earlier post , i would stick with two colours of plants .

Wow that looks great! I have been working on my driftwood lately, i have a few pieces that i would like to use, and I'm just starting on my coconut caves 
i picked up some hornwort and just let it float in the tank and it was doing ok. Yestarday i snipped a couple pieces and put them in the substrate, I will see how they grow down there. What I would really like is a good carpet plant!

Ya I just pushed a small bit of the bottom stem into the sand. Just an experiment to see how it works, figure its worth a shot! I've also just purchased some java fern and mosses so when those come in they can join my coconuts and maybe driftwood
