Nice tank setup.

I am new here...what is ADA? Last time I checked it stood for American Dental Association...lol. How does that soil compare to others like laterite and flourite?

Guessing by your watts, that's a 55g tank (3w per gallon)?

Gorgeous tank! Well done, looks very natural.

I love planted tanks and this is certainly one of the better ones I have seen.
Congratulations on this lovely tank and kudos for all the hard work.

You deserve a good pat on the back.

Thanks for sharing the photo.

Yeah, it round about 3w per gallon, but we did not follow the guide strictly, we gauge by observing plant growth.
