Nice pics. What is that clump of plants in the 29 gal?



I don't know for sure. It is the same red colored plant as in the 75.
The leaves were originally green 3 years ago. For whatever reason,
the plant has thrived more in the 29.

The red plant on the far right in the 75 looks like Barclaya longifolia.
That's the only really red plant with lanceolate leaves that I know
of. It grows more or less red depending on light intensity and
nitrates. Some of the crypts have colored leaves, but they're usually
more purple. Barclaya is a notoriously difficult plant to grow and the
clump in the 29 is gorgeous.
