    The tank is 24" tall, so about 20"?

    Your GSP looks like a beautiful freshwater aquascape using dwarf hair grass. Love the contrast in colors between L and R side of the tank - is that a nem getting shaded in the bottom right corner?

    yeah, they have taken over the left side of the tank, all the way up the side glass to the surface. I really need to thin these out!

    Lots of pulsing Xenia also, which I also need to thin out.

    Nope, that's Anthelia, soon to be purged from the tank. To me that is a nuisance coral, it grows slowly and chokes out everything else around it. There is a 6" toadstool leather that is being hidden by the Elephant Ear though.

    20"!?! What a monster! Beautiful tank, I really like how filled in everything is. Its nice to see a long established tank of mainly softies. The Monti looks great in with all of it too.

    If you need to cut off some of that GSP turf I'd buy a square from you to afix to my rear glass and see if I can get it to grow there.

    Actually that whole left side that is attached to the glass is mostly detached, only holding at the top. So I have about 2 square feet that I need to trim...

    I just feed the DIY food and LRS food. I believe they feed via zooanthelle, so whatever you feed will get taken up.
