Filter: Eheim Prof 3e
Hardscape: Baltic rock, Lava rock

:thumbup:It looks like the treasure island in the middle of the ocean with the coconut tree. Marvellous!
 
This looks fantastic. Great job. How do you cope with all that light on top? I mean its 72w over a 60L tank! Thats a lot of pars and it looks excellent. How do you cope and the plants dont melt from co2 depravation?
 
Hi James

I've seen you're using an Eheim Prof 3e for this tank. Is it the 2076? After the manual it can pump 1,650 lph (without filter media and tubing) and 1,000 lph with media...
Are you restricting the flow or does it work ok?
