Looks good :thumbup:
what make are the stainless steel pipes and what is the background you have used?

Thanks , the pipes are from Chihiros, lovely skimmer intake I have to Say, looking to buy the same for my tank. 🙂
The background: simply two Ada sheets (Ada foggy + Ada screen light sheet from Aquasabi) together , note this only works nicely when the tank is in front of a white wall like here.

Thanks, not an huge fan of these too but I've learn they can be fine when you have an huge selection of 30kg to play with. 😛
 
Dragonstone combined with all those reddish stem plants will create some really nice warm colours! Nicely done!
 
Looks great looking forward to updates.

I really like this scape. The more it grows in the better it looks. I'm considering setting up a 45cm cube and right now plan to use yours as inspiration for that
 
Really nice scape. 🙂

My only suggestion would be to move the outlet next to the inlet. That jet is gonna rip through the stems at the back where it currently is.

When they do grow up (and they’ll struggle), you’ll have problems blasting the co2 around if that makes sense.

It's started to grow in well 🙂

Yeah Tim, easy tank for now, high plant mass in the beginning and using old tropica soil from an previous setup really helps to avoid algae bloom. 🙂

It makes sense, thanks for the tip, I think my Friend will replace it with a Lily pipe. 😎
