Thanks, and yeah, this brand of Co2 seems quite popular over here...

Nice update! I can already imagine it will look very nice!

Thanks for giving me idea how much a complete CO2 setup will be ther in HK.
Thanks and No worries ;)

I mean the bottle prices dont vary too much in price, its more the adapter for it that can vary a bit...

I know they do treat their soil... As for is there any added benefit compared to other aquarium soils? Probably not much but have always had good result using it so i kept with it...

Heres a shot of the info about the soil that come inside the bag incase you want to check it out...

Re-arranged a few plants, and added a couple HC patches to the setup to hold the dirt down... bought 2 new red plants today which i'll add in tmr, but here is the setup and what it looks like at present... any thoughts / comments welcome :)

I like this look. The only thing I see is the big wood seems to close to the front glass. If you only had 4-5" more space between there.

What AFA store did you go to? I only know of two in the US, one in San Francisco California and the other somewhere in Texas. I've gone to the one in SF a few times and its awesome.

Thanks :)

And actually the wood is setup that way so that aesthetically the tank looks good from all angles

That may have something to do with me being in Hong Kong ;)

Also they don have their own store per se, but a lot of stores do stock their products...

Oh right sorry I forgot, I was thinking of AFA (Aqua Forest Amano). They only have two stores in the US and there the store I know of that Carries only ADA products.
