Hi,
yes, it looks like, but I will remove it, later on, to put more crypts. Still waiting for crypt albida var. Red to plant.
Will see how it goes...

Cheers,

Joe Faria.

Completely lovely. I think i'm green with envy!

I love the RCS in the middle of the pearling flame and java moss- that's my fav pic, I think...

Can't believe the difference - it just looks better and better - is it just the java moss has filled in or are there some more plants added too?
Lovely,
