The Happiest of people don't neccessary have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way
When will there be 25 letters in the alphabets?
Just wondering whether it's better to have some plants tied on the top of the DW to make it look like a tree but I worry the plants tied on the tree will block the light
maybe you want to consider tying moss onto the driftwood
your ferting regime is very active!Is it alittle bit over-enthusiatic?
Cheers,
Andrew
Oh! wow why have to put such many Fert.
If you dose it that way, make sure your lights and co2 are kept up.
For my highlight 3ft stem plant tank, i am using 2 x 150W MH, alternate day of fertilizer dosing (FERKA of course, Aquatilizer and BalanceK 100ml / dose). CO2 is bubbling at 4-5 bps. I trim the tank about once / 1.5-2wk.

I do not dare to dose too much each time. just 10-20 percent of the recommended dosage only. I don't know this is ok or not.
for my highlight set up as mentioned, i overdose by at least 300%.

How come talk about fertiliser? Any comment to improve the scaping?
might consider adding some plants in the mid-ground, especially the right and left most part. can consider the common ones, B.japonica.
but still the scape is still young, will love to see how it progress!!

The driftwood seems a bit to big for the scape of the tank, my suggestion since its in tha tank already, try gettin some moss on the wood, will definately be easier to blend with the long run scape especially so after the foreground starts to grow and carpet.
100ml/dose is really a lot!! can finish a bottle in a very short period!
