Im glad I finally got something to show, other than hardscapelayouts

This looks very good! It took me a moment to recognize the wood layout. I like how you've softened the rocks with the plants. I'm really looking forward to seeing this when your plants fill in.

I need to fiddle with the anubias in the middle, since it look like crap with the rhizomes up high. I guess i gotta buy a new anubias to put there, instread of my halfdead leftoverst...

Themuleous

should look great once its settled and matured

@A-P: In my opinion, if you tie some java moss on rock & wood, shimps will be happy as they love mosses very much....

Anti-Pjerrot

I will - I just diddent have the time at the point, and if i wait, i can find the best places so they match the scape.

I made a slideshow for the making of the tank...

I got a better photo from today.



I got some more anubias to fill in the holes... Any comments on the anubias would be appreciated.

I took out most of the moss, since it was infested with hairalgae, but the damage it briefly did was taken care of by my 19 amanos - one was a jumper and became a snack for mt 2 year old son

I dose 5 ml of my EI mix (macro ferts = 14 w/v KNO3; 3 w/v KH2PO4; 3,75w/v K2SO4) every second day and 2 ml Tropica Aquacare liquid (micro) every other day.

CO2 is plentyfull

Growth is good - especially Glosso. But the rotala green on the back left are slow in the moment, but are not showing any sign of dificiencies.

I plan on adding moss on the wood in the near future.

Any comments on the layout are most welcome.

Very nice! I am being picky, but your large center most piece of wood (first one on the left hand side when going from center) something about the direction it's pointing in disrupts the chi.

I'd like some more info on your Co2 as well.

Anti-Pjerrot

Considering that the hole left side will be covered with rotala green, like the right side has the rotundifolia, do you think it will be disrupting then. I plan on only having a little of the wood itself showing, and corvering the rest with moss, the fern and a crypt (hardly seen at the moment).

The CO2 is pressurized and diffused with a mister (fistst pic on the left). I cant use the pH/kH method the determine CO2 since the substrate (Elos) is messing up the pH and kH as well. I got a steady 1bp/sec and pearling all day.
