    tank looks great, i'm battling some green water in my 2m as well, for no apparent reason, water changes and just keeping the ambient light low, especially during the day seems to be making a difference..

    I used tetra's algae pond clear. Its made just for greenwater algae. Was clear within one day but im only at my tanks once a week, so i cant keep it 100% maintained now.

    So got a scape in my head and a few pics for inspiration. I hope I can pull it off! having sleepless nights and workless days because of me thinking about the rescape all the time! super excited. Also to change the substrate.
    I have loads of HC now so hopefull with some good slopes i can make a carpet that shows alot of depth!
    Gonna cut back on alot of plants. also want to try my own emmersed setup. gona use these clear plastic containers you buy at game and pottingsoil. Don't know what else i need.
    Have lots of branchy pieces of wood thats been soaking for 2 weeks now. Its sekelbos wood so it is hard and heavy. It did not even float when i first started to soak them.
    I have 12 Branchy pieces some with nice forks in them and a few bends.
    also i have alot of dragon rock. 2 pieces are huge so I'm wondering if I can moer them with a hammer to break into smaller pieces?

    thats huge. i think you will damage it if you brake it, i think the inside is more solid that porous it won't look nice. no too sure tho.
    are you able to post pics?
