Hi-tech 160 planted

I started this aquarium Jan 16th'08. I will try to create a Takashi Amano style aquascape. Most of the knowledge, on how to run such a set-up, I got from the plant guru Tom Barr, by researching his site and archives over at the always helpful www.barrreport.com

These days it looks like this



I am very happy with how this scape looks today. Not too wild but still jungle looking.
I perform 50% water change every week and clean the external TetraTec EX 700 filter every month.
I dose Tropica PlantNutrition+NPK 3x a week (15ml each time) I also dose some extra KH2PO4 once a week since Tropicas fertiliser doesn't contain enough of P in my opinion (see Tropicas declaration on www.tropica.com ).
I dose GH-Booster (Noraq GH-Salt) for extra Mg and Ca every week after the wc.
Also after the wc I redose with Bicarbonates (1 teaspoon not much)
