Ohko Ocean, now 'Peaks'

The new reactor is in and going well.

Here's an update. I think the erio has to go and the wallichii needs to thicken up a bit more.And the sp green mounds behind the peaks aren't even, have to think about that too.

Fantastic!

The natural look of it is wonderful!!
What's the plant in the middle/sand-area (apart from the eleocharis)?
Cheers,
Christian

I'll be going for what may be the final pic this weekend.
Wish me luck the fish pose nicely!

In the meantime here's a funny sort of phone pic I took the other day.

No final pic I'm afraid.

The wallichii stems got too tall and shuffling them down into the soil wasn't working too well. So I made the decision to cut them all and replant. It will be a few days before they are looking good again.

After cutting the stems:

The right side floating about prior to replanting:

Dantrasy, time for you to do a avatar themed floating rock scape.... ;)
 
haha I know you're joking rebel. the avatar thing doesn't really interest me.

This is next (for the 4ft coming in Dec/Jan)

Hehe... I was half serious... ;) That's my next (very ambitious) project provided I get some stones.

For your 4ft, is it going to be very deep say 3 feet? 4X3X2 or something?
 
Wow, cool.

It seems your flow is not super strong but stable so amandaes are very comfortable with it. At first I thought there was no flow at all, but then spotted your plants were swayed.
 
Thanks Alex!

Since removing the in-line heater (I have no heater now) the flow needs to be restricted. There's a lever on the filter I can lift up to reduce the flow. It's on half flow, which is just enough. Any more and the plants on the other side of the tank get blown away.

I have dead spots where there's virtually no flow. I have to (front right, for example). But the lighting is low-medium and the stems are up high.

Still, I'm amazed how little algae there's been.

@rebel, the new tank will be 120x40x40

Wonderful job Dantrasy. You have a way with hardscapes.
