Hi Ian and welcome to UKAPS!

Nice looking planted community tank you have there! How long has it been running?

Re: Hello

Thanks Adam and George, it's been running with the current plants for 2 months, it's been running for 4 months in all. I have found it more difficult planting a corner.

been a couple of weeks, i have changed a couple of things. I have moved the massive bit of bogwood out to make way for more plants. I have replaced it for 2 smaller bits of mopani, the bogwood had a big circumference. I have added a couple of DIY C02 cannisters, well not DIY but the Hagen DIY cannisters, running through a bubble ladder. It all seems to be working well.

it looks bare at the front, i'm going plant shopping this week.

thanks for looking.
