That is an amazing tank. Well done. The water clarity, aquascape look stunning. Keep the pics coming, I could never get my tank looking like that.

I have to give credit to Purigen for clarity.

I have a bag in each of my 3 filters.
Very satisfied.

Best looking tank i've seen in a long long time. You should be proud of your achievement. I'm going to save an image of your tank so I can reference it if I ever go to one planted tank. thanks for posting.

Thank you for the kind words.
I was inspired by a youtube video of a geophagus tank.
It had sand, driftwood and some javafern, but he only had plants and roots on one side, while i have both.

But in terms of planting the plants, they are all tied down with fishingline around small flatt stones.
I've read that if the rizom of the plant is beneath the sand, the plant slowly rots.

And the driftwood centerpiece, is actually made together by several pieces.
8-9 driftwood pieces in total.

Here's a link to the video that inspired me to do this tank:

Not the best picture but this is a cherry shrimp that I added right before the fish, I didn't think it would make it. But it has grown and fish just isn't fast enough to catch it.

I saw this go from one side of the tank to the other in a flash, it looked like a red line in my tank for a millisecond.
I couldn't believe it.
