wow, nice growth and certainly doesn't look like play play.
surprise that you are adding Easy Life EasyCarbon eventhough you are having pressurised CO2, any reason?
You tried keeping any shrimps? Found this source quoting Easy life ProFito is shrimp safe (but it actually contains copper). http://www.easylife.nl/english/index.html?id=40
I just set up a tank similar to yours, same tank dimensions and using HOF, also using HC as main plant, hope can get results like yours.
Great growth!! is that a hang on filter you are using?
Here is the progress for the past 60+ days.

I guess you more or less shot down the impression that hang on filter causes Co2 loss....well maybe you are still losing CO2 this way, but obviously not enough to cause any problem.......I am thinking of using a hang on filter (with a surface skimmer function) as a surface skimmer, but worried about CO2 loss. Looks like a potential to me now.![]()
is that a small pump on the left hand side? for better circulation and CO2 distribition?
your rocks are now embedded under the HC
Wow beautiful growth of hc! Inspiring me to attempt emersed as well![]()
you can lift the rock up by adding soil under it.
