Really nice. I'm a big fan of the central island layout. I'm considering doing this on my next layout.
 
Almost three months have passed without regular maintenance, no water changes, no fertilizers, just feeding fishes and maintening water level. Last month not even co2 was used. Plants are in good condition. Algae only slightly covered glass.

Regular maintenance starts again: weekly water changes, micro dosing. As CO2 break seems to not cause any problems I`ll keep it off.
