lighting - 36watts x 2 PLL for 9 hours
filteration - eheim 2213
co2 - pressurized at 2bps, ista 2in1 diffuser
flora - stauragyne tropica, HC cuba, Blyxa Japonica, unidentified crypt (dwarf hairgrass was initially planted but was removed later and replaced with blyxa), hydrocotyle tripartita
fauna - cardinal tetra
dosing - after 2 months dosed with aquatic remedy macro & micro, k2so4 (to satisfy pottassium requirement of Staurogyne tropica)

After few more experiments with the scape and rock positioning, below is what i eventually went with...there were another 2 tiny rocks added to give continuity.
