Whoop whoop the 1-2 grow pots of Staurogyne arrived today, will be planting them later as I have to finish building our picket fence first, I'll chuck some pic's up tonight.

Although it's similar, I really like it. Will the right side look similar?

 

[Ps3Steveo]

I'm not adding wood to the right now, the scape has taken a different turn, its had Bolbitis, Anubias, Blyxa and Staurogyne added instead. Glad someone likes it tho lol.

the pics??

Here you go a pic and vid, all the Staurogyne you can see came from 2 x 1-2 grow pots, amazing stuff. Any way here you go, growing in nicely. Sorry the vid is terrible quality.

again, it looks very good, it's a pity the scape doesn't go the length of the tank. It would look very good if it did.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Still considering it a little . We'll see .

Nice mate, you're really good at this scaping malarky.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

I like this design method. Great job on it!

Lighting unit has been upgraded slightly, made it more slimline today while I was out working on a few other bits . Also added 3 more LED's I had laying about and the difference is amazing, I use 30 degree lens' on mine tho so needed better spread.

nice LED's, are you getting any algae with them being so close to the water? Your heading toward high light there.
