Trimming Lessons ' ELOS Addicted ' FAAO

Source: FaaoAquascaping by Filipe Oliveira

I made this video to show how I trim my plants.Usually I do several different trimmings according to layout's development and plant's needs. This is the first trimming on this layout and not make any sense do some corrections on the plants to enhance the shape of general layout. Plants need to get volume and later when they get enough volume and filled the areas, I pass to adjusted trimming process.

11 days after setup ' ELOS Addicted - FAAO

This layout has 11 days after setup and it is visible that some plants grew and have spread very well. Next days, I will trim to some plants for the first time to give more volume and start defining some areas, keeping some plants under control.
When I setup my 350L (one day after this layout), I not used all Eleocharis acicularis (3 pots), so I planted them on the front of this layout to close the empty area visible on the first video.
