    hi all, just restarted this hobby after 7 years and taking things slowly... did this scape for my 6 feet tank for comments before finalising with more rocks and planting

    Wow. Your restart with such a huge tank! Can’t wait to see the journal!

    BTW, what is the dimensions of the tank?

    Looking forward to your progress picture! And restarting with 6ft!

    Have you done a planted tank with a similar size? I'm not too active so didn't know of your past work!

    Still thinking how to improve it, bought some more driftwoods from c328 and maybe will change the layout.

    Yes, full ADA substrate with 5 additive powders (leftovers Penac W & C from previous setup, 6 packs normal amazonia, 4 packs powder, 12l powersand), cost me nearly 1k just for this

    Re: 6 feet aquascape

    completed foreground but the woods floated and hate to waste 1 day trying to fix the woods and sink them with big rocks

    now waiting for the woods to sink before removing the rocks to put java ferns and bolbitis and in meantime cycling the tank, having a bit of brown and black hair algae now.. just thrown in 2 bottles of One and Only live bacteria solution

    latest update (plant growth is quite slow as I used 6 hours and 50% max light intensity for past 4 weeks to reduce algae, changed to 9hrs and 60% now):

    Re: 6 feet aquascape

    Be careful. the tank is very sparse. it's recommended to pack the tank with plants from the very beginning. this would give it a good start. I know few people who done well with sparse or rather zen like tank.
