That CO2 has done wonders!
 
Like Richard asked, what is the stocking?

The fish are not yet in the tank.
i want to create first a stabel environment before adding some fish
I think I'm going to add some neon fish

 

[Blondielovesfish]

Whats the planned stock then
What else do you think you'll add?
 
Have you cycled it? (read the link in my signature if you don't know what it is).

People who build aquascapes like that are generally not on their first ride, although I could be mistaken lol

Hello,
 
No this is really my first aquascape.
Of course I'm already more than 10 years experienced in keeping aquariums. But I always had the normal planted thanks so now for the first time I've tried to create a real aquascape.
 
I filmed my aquascape yesteday since I did some cutting of the plants.
Here a new update of my tank.

Stunning philip, truly.   Are you slowly upping the school or leaving it where its at?  I say it could use double what is in there!

Hello fishaholic,
 
For the moment I'm going to leave it as it is.
Maybe in the future I'll add some more fish.
