It looks magical! There's a certain tranquility around it.

Pity about the rectangular log of wood though.

Looks great chester. What do you do for dosing and what are the light specs on your tank? Tell us your secret.

Well, there is no secret. I do not use any fertlizers. The lighting is 3x18W - Osram LUMILUX 840, 865 and Phillips Aquarelle.

Beautiful! Certainly unique, and breathtaking. The vals in the light give it a "divine" type feeling. Well done!
