Could you give us an idea of the hardscape? my feeling is a very steep rise made of aquasoil at the back?

also how do you guys deal with the initial bout of ammonia and no3 or do you guys plant so heavily that it doesn't come up on your radars?
Mike will have to discuss the hardscape question.

Initial ammonia is not something we really think about too much-- we just do water changes every 2-4 days depending on appearance of the plants/observation of conditions, no matter what. Ammonia always works itself out through the establishment of nitrifying bacteria, and we wait a few weeks before adding shrimps, O-cats, and other fish.
