My Second Planted Tank

My initial plan of setting up this tank is to participate in ADA aquascaping competition.
But I’ve decided give up due to my busyness and I got no time to maintain it well.
I am pretty happy with my composition, hmm .. what you guys think?

Stones for Iwagumi

Seeking for rocks these days, trying to get from mother nature,
but really hard to get a nice one.
Finally I decided to buy, bought these from a landscaping company
near Sungai Buloh, cost me RM 4.5 per Kg,
quite expansive, but I quite like the texture on it.
The boss says these are import frm china,
and they only have limited stock becoz they r not allow to export dy ..
英石 Ying stone .. cool.
I got about 100 kg, only found that I bought too much after setup .. :P

the making of PMDD

for saving cost purpose, I planning to make fertilizer my own, this is one kind of very popular DIY fertilizer call PMDD ( Pool Man’s Dosing Drops ).
I got a recipe frm the internet,

PMDD Formula:
Magnesium sulfate - MgSO4.7H2O (Epsom salt) 55g
Potassium sulfate - K2SO4 - 23g
Potassium nitrate - KNO3 - 10g
Chelated iron - Fe - 8g
and mixed wif 500 ml of water.

But I cant get KNO3 for the moment, so I use CaNO3 to replace it. and dose the chelated iron separately.
