Actually it's a dsm. Can feel the high demands of HC already.

If dsm then light and soil nutrient will be stronger factor

Nice. I like the "root" from the tree that's on the rock.

Wow! I can only dream of such beautiful tank! Sigh.

sure you can, just need to try. Do it slowly, take picture and post it at forum before you even start planting or filling the water. That way many bro will be able to guide you.

Thanks for the encouragement. I think for now i just hope my RCS breed before i go into aquascaping. By the way i saw on your blog you use DIY CO2. I got a few question. Is there a lot of mess involve in the DIY and does it stink? My aquarium is in the living room and i will be slaughter alive if it stink up the living room. How long does it last?

its only stink when you open the bottle. Other than that its ok

**tryo** · 22nd Sep 2011, 17:13

Oh,means i can only change it when no one is at home. Haha. Thanks for the information.

**Shadow** · 22nd Sep 2011, 18:17

just change it in the toilet and dump it in. It should not stink after flush

**limz_777** · 26th Sep 2011, 16:18

the set-up is still in your company ?

just love it, Robert... the tree, the rocks, fissidens, everything. it's really amazing how you could still catch up last minute with diy co2 and send the scape for IAPLC, though i think you would have liked more growth. salute!

@limz_777: no, the tank was dismantle for Aquarama

@beetroot: thanks, no co2 injection is very bad too plant growth. Diy co2 is good but trounlesome. I endup using 3 1.5 liters softdrink bottle to maintain 2bps

@leavemeuntitled: thanks
