Bah, who needs backgrounds? Doing that would take some of the focus away from the plants and stream bed. I think it looks perfect.

This is an uber awesome viv. It makes anything Ive made look like pond water!

Your blooming NOID lipstick looks like Aeschynanthus 'Big Apple', which I've seen in houseplant sections on and off. The flowers aren't very flashy but add a nice touch of darker red here and there.

The pictures you find online will look a little different; but yours looks like mine did when grown under glass and lights.

Alsobia? Looks like it, but missing the red tint in the stems, might be cause of the lighting.

The whole tank is gorgeous, perfect for those epips.

Where did you get all of those rounded shaped grey rocks from? I've been searching for some for my tank and can't find any?

Thanks,
Jesse

As for the ID on the plant, I noticed yesterday that it's starting to send a bloom out again, so I'll try to get a pic of it when it's flowering. Maybe that will help a bit more.
