quick update. I change some of the wood other than that its still the same.
slowly filling up the tank everyday to soak the wood. manzi wood soak up really easy within a week. stand is all sorted now but it doesn't look a cool as before but its safe now :nailbiting:
most of the plants are from vitro plants and plants I grown my self. also a big thanks to neil for lots of stem plants. cheers buddy
hopefully i won't see no melting. co2 is on high for week and then turn down slowly. still adding more plant on the go need to get MORE Bucephalandra they are my favourite plant :)

that it for now. will make another update on day 7

cheers

Looking really good ! The photo following the plugs is horrifying!!! Glad you were able to fix :) - not what you want to hear, but your 'wrigglers' are/were sorta cute (sorry). Your buce sp. are lovely - it's great that they are becoming more popular in the hobby!

yesterday was day 7 and water change. so far so good only plant that has melt is the star grass but I can already see new growth.
what new so far....i tie some weeping moss fissden and mini pella also I got some moss ball tie on to the wood. never had moss ball before :)
and more Anubis too love it

I thought I try by attaching some monte carlo at the surface and hopefully it can grow half emerse lets see how it goes.
now the hard but what fish should I add. I was at destination aquatics and saw some stunning red melons discus around about 5 to 5 1/2 inchs amazing colours. not sure how many to buy but I think 5 will do or 7 but they got to be smaller. I waiting for a quote on 50 amanos and little fish I decide later

what do you guys think about fish?

If I were you I would not choose Discuss for this tank. Discuss needs open spaces, are pretty shy fish. You got plenty of wood in your tank, the fish may hurt itself when it is panic or stress.

I would say get less fish in this tank and a go for 50 Sawbwa resplendens
 
Plantation and woods are nice but your scape looks too symetrical to me.

Fishes: big school of simulans should compliments all that green very well. ;)
 
I'm not specialist in Discus, but I'd not put it to the aquascape. Your scape would be great with angels, but not extremely very big size (no altums). And of course any sort of smaller shoaling fish.
Please forgive me a link to another resource this is just illustration of possibility: http://aquascape-promotion.com/galereja-akvaskeipinga-72 (that tank has similar size to your).
