Hi guys....Yet another rescape. Wanted to give my fish more of a realistic environment so added lots of bog wood and will be adding more leaf litter. I wanted to simulate something on the bank of a river. Obviously it isnt a true biotope but i feel its much more natural and already the fish are behaving in a really nice way thats enjoyable to view.

The wife wasn't a fan of the full tea stained looked so ive gone somewhere in the middle (little does she know that i the bog wood will continue to leach. The floating plants will spread and cover more light and give a nice tone of light to the tank, plus the java fern and swords will grow a lot taller as they are only small now.

Here it is:

And here is the setup video:

I've added a darker sand to the substrate now and the wood is started to release tannings so getting some nice mearkyness.
A little bit cloudy still from adding the sand.
Also added some more wood to the left front as this area was a bit too open and the two swords, left and right which will will in those areas nicely over the next few months.

Very Pretty, Can you still inject CO2 with discuss or are you stuck with low tech?
