Looking great Tim, revisiting this scape for some inspiration when re-scaping my 40cm cube. I too will be using dragon stone, just considering different layouts. Love what you've achieved here, that Aruguaia has definitely tickled my fancy too!

Any tips in this sort of layout? Flow issues etc? Would you do it the same or change something?

Cheer, Joe

Hi joe, thanks for the kind comments, unfortunately due to life getting in the way this scape has been very neglected, no ferts or waterchange for over a month, the lilaeopsis and araguaia has all but melted away, I really need to get it back on track, I've found flow to be spot on from the right corner back around the hardscape, on the whole I've found it a pleasure to run this tank and I think I could easily keep it going for another year or two with only a little more care and a few tweaks to the plant list.
Cheers, Tim.
 
Hi Tim,

This is awesome! What ferts are you using and what lighting period?

Thanks

Ross
Hi Ross, thanks for the kind words, lights are on for 9 hours a day, I started at 6 hours and extended by an hour each month after setup, for ferts I'm using the DIY tpn+ recipie from here http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/allinone.htm recipie number 3 without urea, dosed at 1 ml a day 7 days a week.
