    Looks good but also would say that you could move your rocks a round more.

    In a nut shell, the aquarist doses fertilizers frequently to prevent anything from running out and does large weekly water changes to prevent any build up.

    Looking pretty cool dude. Plants are looking good. Do you have another plant in a pot :laugh:

    Regarding "I still have to fix the rocks" - Maybe try the very large rock on the lhs in the gap/path at the back of the tank and replace it with smaller sloping rocks like on the right. So the rock scape would rise sharply on the left to a focal point (large rock) and then taper down gradually to the right. It would mean you would only have 1 island but it might look cool?:hmmmm:
