MOWING THE LAWN 

I was surprised when I checked the time and saw that I had been tinkering in Asgard for almost two hours. In addition to a massive water change, I pruned 6 of the 7 plant types in the tank. I added two stalks of Myriophyllum tuberculatum and 2 stalks of Myriophyllum aquaticum. Their common names are milfoil and red mysiophyllum. They are identical except in color. Milfoil is bright light green; the other is equally bright but red. They're quite gorgeous in large groups.

Now that I've planted them, I'm not sure they're ultimately going to work. They're quite different from the other, bolder plants, and whether they'll get enough light is tricky since I planted them in the wide-open space behind the driftwood.
