About time 90x45x45 scape

Quick I phone pic

Still lots to do/change, all the ferns have had a big trim to remove some staghorn, background planting needs some work and I'm considering adding some moss to the wood,
Cheers for looking.

Morning all, quick update after a post holidays water change,

Tanks had a few issues lately leading to some bba on the hardscape,

I've put this down to not having a pre filter on the eheim pump I'm using for co2, I've added in a reactor full of sponge which catches the debris the pump was chopping up and spreading round the tank, so far seems to have slowed the growth, I just need to get round to algae removal now.
A few green neons have been added from my 40cm low tech which I had to take down.

Buces need thinning out again

FTS just refilled, have removed the echinodorus from the back of the tank and replanted the crypt balansae along the back, needs to grow back in, all in all it's getting there.

Looks great, Tim. Reminds me of the jungles of south east Asia. :)
Thanks Berlioz, unfortunately the fish choice of South American pencils and tetras don't quite match the scape, had the pencils for around 4 years though so couldn't bear to return them to the lfs or I would have stocked this tank with rosy loach and small barbs.
Thanks Chris, background plant inspired by your lazy Asian biotope ;)

Jungly :) BBA still hanging around on the rocks, will hopefully get round to removing them for a deep clean at some point. Time for a trim of the stems , they will probably benefit from a total uproot and replant in a month or two, bottoms are a bit straggly. Still enjoying this scape and feel it could run for a year or two more with regular cleaning trimming etc.
