Your HCs are spectacular. I wish I could grow mine like that.

the trick is soft water good lighting, lots of CO2, and last but not least ADA Aqua soil. Jeff senske says he swears by it and I definatly do too.

Very beautiful tank and layout ! You're lucky to have this type of rocks, they're very very hard to find it here in France

arowanaman

they are a mountain rock. I found these rocks in Montana arround glacier park. You have lots of mountains like these in France. I bet if you wen to some High mountain lake you could find something like them.

Here are some pictures of some of the setup process. I like to do this with all my tanks so I can show how to setup a plant aquarium step by step.

I have been admiring this tank for a little while now, Arowanaman, and it is stunning and well worthy of the ADA competition. Best of luck!

As an aside, do you find your HC to be nitrate hungry?

Dave.

I guess you could say so, I dose allot of brighty K special lights, and Step 2 in this tank which is full of nitrogen and phosphorous....... Postassium is a great suppliment to help keep it greener too. I noteced if you don't dose potassium it starts to yellow allitle. I also dose ECA into the tank allong with the step 2 to help bring out some of the reds in the tank. I am trying to get the Blyxa japonica, and the ludwigia acurata to turn bright red. the make a great contrast against the stunning green of the riccia and HC.
