Well over a year ago, I built the (just under) 20g tank that has occupied so many postings below. Today, for the first time in months, I'm posting photos so you can see how a tank matures and remains happy without major topographical revisions.

Older photos show moss tied to the central log in the tank. I removed that moss months ago because I wasn't happy with how dominating it was visually in the center of the tank. I then tied three very small clumps of moss to the driftwood log and let it simmer for weeks. The tank went through a period where nothing would grow (but nothing would die). Most peculiar. Instead of changing my nutrient, lighting, and water-change routine, I simply kept doing what I'd been doing since the tank became established. This patience and meticulous persistence paid off.
