Extensive tank floor refurbishing

Cleaned out some places, picked up three more plants (two for background, one nice foreground one with dark green and purple foliage) and some bulbs and a driftwood chunk that I wanted to jam some of those bulbs in. I don't see any that fell off so far.

Moved some of the riccia off the top and used some to replace panels. Was going to replace the main panel until I realized there was still riccia under it mixed in with the microsword. I applied a patch at the bare place, but it sticks out even more now because of it, so I think I'll toss the idea. Still one more sunny spot that I haven't exploited with a panel yet.

Around the week I think I know where to go to check some of these plants in. Not sure if they have any interest in floating plants, but always worth a check. This should free up some of the light as well as encourage some more yummy algae for my pancake. Which also reminds me: finally figured out how to use this camera properly for focus.
