I saw this on CPUK. Its a very neat and organised tank full o' cute cephs! :D

I really wonder how your cephs started growing faster and started to get red colouration after you changed it from 6000k to 2700k lights. Maybe the higher lumens played a part.

That is just amazing. The contours, it's like a rendition of some fantasy world.

This is very reminiscent of what Takashi Amano does with aquariums. Very impressive!

Just curious, how many different CP species are in your tank?

I have a few centimetres of LECA in the base of the tank on top of which is a permeable membrane then the soil is on top of that. I add enough water to fill up the voids between the LECA and this then acts as a reservoir.

For a moment there it looked like a photo of life-sized cephs on a bunch of hills.
Fantastic!
