hey everyone
here it is my 400L 150cm aquarium planted on the 12th of october
today it's like this (18days old)

there's still a long way to go before it gets the crazy wild look that i like so much :mrgreen:
i'm thinking about the fish for this layout and the most likely choice are the Paracheirodon Simulans
take care

Looks really good, although you might lose the smaller stones as the plants fill in. Could you give any more info?

1- 5 bags of Akadama (75L)
2 - 2 MH 150W lamps
3 - industrial activated carbon for the bottom of the substrate
4 - Sphagnum peat also for the bottom of the substrate
5 - 6kg CO2 botle
6 - Papillon regulator and 500g backup botle
7 - Fluval 203 filter as an external CO2 reactor.
8 - magnetic valve
9 - buble counter
10 - HQI BLV 5200K bulbs (i'd rather use 6500K but the price difference is huge)
11 - plastic net to separate the peat/carbon from the Akadama above

the plants are:
Echinodorus tenellus
Glossostigma Elatinoides
Echinodorus Quadricostatus
Valisneria spirallis
Cyperus Helferi

Really beautiful !!!

The rock placement, mounding of the substrate and plant combination makes the tank very natural.
