Hi everyone,
Just thought I would give you another update before the water change.
For comparisson, here is last week Saturday:
Here is today:
Since the last update the glosso and HC is starting to fill in, its been a bit of a strugle as my corys go digging in the middle of it and end up uprooting it, I have been replating it every day as it floats.
Also added some Blyxa to the middle, due to this have placed the weeping moss mesh at the back on the horizontal, its starting to show signs of growing now, not fast by any means hehe
Over the last week I have only been dosing TPN+ as I ordered a bottle by mistake of my usual TPN, I will keep dosing this until I get my pressurised system which should arrive any day now. Once I get the CO2 system installed I will move to complete dry ferts.
Full tank shot and a couple more photos of plants:
Thanks for looking, as always critics and comments always welcomed

Fantastic looking tank,nice variety, the only thing i can see that could make it better is a piece of driftwood in there,maybe a few branches. Nice boesemanis aswell ,very pretty fish; I have one male in my 29 gallon,mine has the best color during feeding and when the sun hits it.(my avatar).
Thanks guys, much appreciated the feedback and positive comments
Arachnar there is some driftwood in there hidden by the plants, I will be adding a Riccia branch this week for another test and then I will see how that develops, will post more photos later

Just another quick update, I have now added the pressurised CO2 system, only been up and running for two days.
I have also moved to complete EI fert dosing with the addition of MgS04. Since the last update added a little piece of bogwood with some branches on the left hand side, and to it added some dwarf riccia.
For comparisson, this is two weeks ago:
This is today (moved the lighting a little back to highlight the moss wall):
This is a close-up of the weeping moss wall:
And this is a close-up of the glosso, did a trim of some older leaves that were developing some algea.
Thats all for now, critics and comments always welcomed

Another week, another update
Its been a week since the pressurised CO2 as been running, I have noticed the plants pearl more often than they did before and its also the first week with complete EI.
I am noticing some problems though, looks like I am getting some tiny hairy algea on some of the plants and also some of the older leaves are getting holes when before they didn't, any ideas? Funny thing is the algea on the Anubias has cleared almost completely. The HC and the glosso are also not doing very well, they getting algea on them and the HC is looking dark green.
Here is the tank today:

Riccia on branch:
Another close up (have quiet a few trumpets of all of suden):
