Here are some photos of my tank as it looks today.
On my way to a perfect scape, I have invested heavily in equipment, LED lights fixures, pressurised CO2 etc. without, in my opinion, getting the desired results. I have tried many a different setup, usiing bog wood as now one time and using moor wood another. I just dont seem to get the lush and beautifull growth some of you guys manage to get on here and whilst there could be hundreds of factors leading to this, I am at a loss as to why my scapes dont succeed.
Being a corner tank does probably pose challenges and I would be delighted to read some comments from corner tank owners who have managed to create a great scape in such tanks.
Here are some pics. Apologies about the quality since I am using my iphone to take these pics:
This is the left side of the tank. The bubbles you see is co2.
This is the right side of the tank. Again a lot of co2 bubbles....
Close up of the CO2 for all those who think that I may not have enough flow.....
Full tank shot from the side. Not happy with this setup at all and really look forward to recomendations and suggestions:
I have not been able to grow HC and most plants successfully in this tank..... Most hard plant types dont grow either which I find frustrating considering that light, ferts, flow, filtration seem to be in check (I even invested in a chiller to keep the temperature at a constant).
Look forward to your comments!

Michael
