The bottom is filled with a special compost that has aged for some years, screened and dried over some days in the sun. I have set a 2-4cm layer direct on the bottom. Then rough black Lava sand 4-12mm, 5-10cm above to get a flow through it, these is then covered with the same lava sand 1-2mm. I fertilise with self made clay balls where I added my dry fertiliser and CSM+B and Iron Chelate. As you can see on the pictures the plants are doing fine.

Welcome to the forum bro! You got to use an external website to post more pictures, like photobucket.
Beautiful tank with lots of plants, must have been very tiring setting this tank up (i know cos i have a 4 feet planted myself haha )
Awaiting more beautiful pictures!

Thanks for the info, I don't make my self a headache by setting up, the hair age is the only bit that is still bothering me, but soon the plants take over when fully established. I use a toothpick brush to turn them out of the plants daily, so easy go.
