Hi chaps!

It's been long since i posted something regarding my aquarium, but here goes...

Decided to revamp my old setup and start afresh. Got a nice piece of bogwood. (i was briefly shocked by how huge it looked compared to my tank but surprisingly it went in just fine - moment of relief for me hehe)
Reused old stones + got a "fresh" piece of stone to place at the front. (By the way if anyone needs four sensibly sized stones - please pm me if you want them for free - i live in london just so you know)

Anyway substrate is Ada Amazonia. Plants:
1. Pogostemon - stellata (Eusteralis)
2. Aponogeton - crispus "Red"
3. Crinum - calamistratum
4. HC Cuba
5. Christmas moss tied on the bogwood

Filter: Eheim 2073 (not yet in operation - waiting for all the mess to settle)
Heater: Hydor ETH 300
CO2 kit: D & D high-pressurised

Background is a fuzzy transparent film from TGM coupled with LED lights that change background colour according to my mood (i know - duhh haha)

Light is 2 x T5 (24w) and 2 x T8 (Forget this one)

So all in all pleased with the outcome!

Sorry about the picture quality i shot it with my iphone.

looks great.like the wood,nice and twisted looking.are you putting anymore rock in or not going overboard... :thumbup:

I was thinking of adding more but then it just looks overcrowded. I like it natural way i guess lol. Besides the plants will most probably cover them to some extent anyway so no point really. :) anyway if no one is going to collect the rocks i might give them a go at some point :)
