Alright guys,
Ive literally been working on setting up this tank for 10 hours straight, im exhausted.
here is the boarder to hide the Mineralized TopSoil ( MTS )
The MTS added and balls of red pottery clay added for iron!
Ecocomplete/florite from 29 gallon and 4 bags of Caribsea flora max cap
gotta slope it!
Hardscape is in!
initial planting, 130+ stems of S. Repens
final products, plus or minus. stil have some propgating to do to fill in the areas, but for the most part its done, what a completely exhausting day!

Awesome hardscape. Gotta say that rock that has the narrow finger of rock looks like a semi-skeletal hand pointing at something.
How the plants doing now? Try and stick through with 'em, I had an issue where one of my hygro's completely melted but I stuck through it and the bugger's like a foot tall now.
Hey guys,
a quick update, ive been cycling the tank for a few days and its getting there. I shook all the bio media from my other tanks into a bucket and poured it into my 110 a few days ago, and since then the parameters have come really close to being ideal, with ammonia the only one still being out of wack. Ammonia being the easiest parameter to get back into check, ( 50% water change and more bio media from other tanks ) this tank should be fully cycled in a few more days.
Nitrate: 0
Nitrite: 0
PH: 7.2
phosphate: 0.5
Ammonia: 1.5
Lots of new growth on all the plants, the S. Repens in still melting, i really hope it comes back like many have said it will.
