Thats some slope, and you say the rocks prevent landslides on their own without other supports?

That's a smart looking piece of glassware, should get you some nice even circulation 
Yes. Similar slope to my "Rooted in Nature" scape. The rocks and plant roots stop "landslides".

Looks great mate! That spraybar look the bizzle, do you loose any pressure with them?
Thanks guys.
I think the improvement in all-over circulation is considerable though - every plant and piece of moss is subject to some movement and therefore is also being hit with CO2 mist from the inline diffuser. So I expect even more growth...
I've also gave the filter a good clean (bio media, impellar, inner workings etc.) and there is better flow through doing that that too.
I might also treat myself to some new fish this weekend.
It doesn't seem to lose any flow mate.

A quick video - sorry it's only handheld (I left my tripod in a mate's van!)

Not really mate - just a lens with image stabilisation...

There seems to be a noticeably better flow with the spraybar. It seems better that when I saw it.
There is mate. More pearling than usual too.

That Riccardia is a 5 star one
This remind me of the topics when people thinks mosses are not demanding. This moss will never look that good if you do not support with high light, CO2, soft water.
Will grow, but the 2 appearance will never look the same. Go for high light guys!
I was worried that you switch to the new glassware and will have problems with brush after the lily. But you placed on the other side above the sand so will not disturb the left hand side then. Anyway i look forward to your conclusion after a few weeks between the 2 glasses. Might need a little more CO2 this way?

The spray bar seems to be working out well. Here you can see how effective the flow is after dropping the water level for a water change. It won't be as easy to clean as the lily but I guess it's a small price to pay for better performance. I'll let you know after I've cleaned it for the first time...
A wide angle shot with the water level dropped.
And another in-situ shot.

That is certainly looking sweet!
If you angle those jets right, you be able to hit the mrs in the kitchen.

The last shot gives a real impression of a tree stump and roots enveloping the rocks. Really nice.
The Amano shrimp in the wide angle shot look big enough to eat you
Cheerio.
Just keeps getting better George, I do like those glass spraybars, hope they are not too troublesome to clean!

Spray bar looks really effective from that shot.
Tanks looking great, love the in situ shot.

I am considering going shrimp-only in here now. I have loads of CRS from my breeding tank. I think they'd look pretty cool on the "hillside".

Shrimp grazing on the hillside would be a good look would perhaps suit the scape more than fish by complimenting further to the scale your trying to achieve?
