Update 7th Sept 2012
The tank is looking really healthy at the moment, the plants are showing no sign of deficiencies and are all growing well.
I added a Shoal of Danio margaritatus (Celestial Pearl Danio) or even Galaxy Rasbora as they used to be called.
check out Seriously Fish for full spec:
http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/danio-margaritatus/
Pic taken from Seriously Fish:
They are quite young approx. 12mm long. They look wicked shoaling in the Blxya.
Maintenance and Upkeep:
Currently completing 3 water changes per week.(all using Tetra Aquasafe)
1 x major 50%; Dosing 5ml of Easylife Kalium (potassium) and 5ml of Tropica TPN
2 x small 25%; Dosing 2ml of Kalium and 2ml of Tropica TPN
Just changed Carbon in Filter as was at least 6 weeks old.
Other Dosing on weekly basis as and when required with 50% WC
ADA ECA (Iron) 10ml
ADA Green Gain with heavy prunes.
Easylife Algexit 6ml
Daily attention involves pruning and removing plant waste, glass and glassware cleaning.
Still only running 1x 24w T5, apart from photos and visitors and then i add a second tube or even all four (BUT THATS WAY TO MUCH light to be sustained!
If i get chance i will upload some pictures over the weekend.
Thanks for looking

This is an absolutely stunning example of a simple, yet very effective planted tank.
I love the 'Tidiness' of the scape. Fantastic mate, well done!

Cheers mate, my original goal was to keep it simple. So glad you noticed.
I am working hard on keeping the scape tidy, doesn't take to much time. Just a little each day.
The Eleocharis is a great plant, growing really well, needs the occasional trim. The Black ottos, are cool.
Cheers guys.
So the challenge, for me with this scape is keeping it looking good. The staurogyne is beginning to fill in nicely i should imagine in a couple of weeks it will be near where i want it to be.
Going to give the tank a good prune this week, to keep all the plants looking tidy.
