Well I thought I had best put some up to date photos on, they are not the best quality and CO2 was on at the time I took them. I have a few days holiday now so will concentrate on getting some better quality ones added this week.
I did a 2.5hr maintenance session on Friday after work and decided to remove the moss from around the front rock areas and tweak the smaller pieces of wood - I think it looks allot better and a bit more natural looking too. Overall I am a little bit more happier about this scape now... it is in no way perfect though! I feel I am still learning allot with this set up, along with the lighting system, it is completely different to what I learnt on my old corner scapes.... and a little bit out of my comfort zone. I already have a few ideas whizzing around my head for another scape, but I will let this run a while longer yet and see if I can learn a bit more before moving on.
