Tmc signature rocky outcrop low tech.

Fangorn. Not fanghorn as my predictive text prefers to call it. Pah!

Deeply frustrating day. Tank when full was 1/2 cm out of level. Emptied relevelled. Planted and filled and wood started moving about under akadama as air slowly released from it. Scape collapsed twice. Have given up getting it right for now. Refilled got filter running and heater running assume akadama will absorb water and things will settle down over comings weeks and I can reset the scape as I want it.
 
Hows this going? Quite interested on your thoughts of the arcadia light.

So tank has been running 3 weeks now and has been torn down 3 times before I have got it settled, I am still not 100% happy (it's level left to right but not front to back and only goes off level when you add water) Tore down my old tank in the garage today and added my cherry shrimp to this along with some of the pelia and the Anubias.

The crypts had a huge amount of wilt when I added them which was concerning but dosed up salty shrimp and added ferts and seem to be throwing out new leaves so that's good. No signs of algae outside of mouldy stuff from wood.

Light is doing well. Like the shimmer effect and penetration through to substrate seems good although I can't measure par. I am low tech so I don't want to go too overboard on light at £55 its a steal. It's well made and seems robust main frustration is not having separate controller on and off for moonlight.
