Unfortunately I've had to change this again as flow was terrible with so much wood in the tank so have taken some out, cut a chunk off a piece I kept in and bought some more plants. Want to have more plants and rely less on hardscape for structure. Have taken advantage of Thegreenmachine having 20% off on their new website and ordered 3 bags of ada africana and 1 ada amazonia. I'll add one bag of africana to this now as substate is a bit thin on the ground and keep the other 2 for after I've moved and use them to cap old substrate. I'd add them all now but africana is messy to rescape with. The Amazonia will go to a future shrimp tank. CO2 is now on. I've scrubbed all the wood as is was covered in bba and hopefully the changes will keep it at bay. An air stone will come on every night too.
Not bad though, 4 bags of ada substrate for £90 A nice side effect of adding africana is the buffering down to ph5.5....
