It's time for a quick update, sorry about the rubbish phone pics.
Cyperus Helferi has been added at the back and it's growing like a weed.
Ammania Bonsai of some sort has just been added (only a few days ago).
Fissidens has been added to one of the branches, it will be added to more branches once it's grown enough.
Xmas moss has been removed from the lower branches as it wasn't doing to well, probably due to not enough light as it's ok higher up, it still seems a bit brownish though, I'm not too happy with it.
As you can see I've added a small Tunze circulation pump at the back as the Cyperus was blocking the flow too much.
Finally, I'm thinking of removing the Hydrocotyle as I'm having trouble controlling it and it looks a bit too untidy. I'll possibly make an Ammania Bonsai 'forest' around the bottom of the wood instead but I'm open to suggestions as to what might look nice around there.
I've also improved my cabinet by clading it with black gloss 'hips' (a high impact plastic) this was quite easy as I had the drawings for my cabinet and I was able to laser cut the 'hips' to the exact size and stick it on with a strong double sided tape. You can't see much on the photo but it's a really nice finish!
The set up's been stable (touch wood) for a while now, no algae or anything, so I cranked up the lights to full for the first time last night..... It was the first time I've ever had pearling in my tank.
Cheers
James
