A finished scape we recently did last year. Was suppose to be all Buces and hair grass.
Steve from Aquarium Zen now maintains it.

They have several filtration shots, has the cone gas exchanger for the CO2 and a DC Vortech pump on a closed loop, does not get any better than that.
Otherwise, Apex dosing system and controls, auto leveling for automated water changes via the Apex, manual bypasses, The Apex doser, Kessil lights(10).
CO2 is still too low in the tank. Can grow easier plants, but could use significant tweaking.

Not my baby any more though.

@Tom Barr, is there a website or link where you showcase tanks you have setup for clients?
I have looked through the tenji website projects list...

Dale.

I work with Tenji as well as ADG and a few others on projects.
I am independent of them, but collaborate, help with logistics and on going maintenance.

I do whatever is needed of me.

What's a cone gas exchanger? Who makes them? All I can find are things for petroleum distillation and heat exchangers...

@Tom Barr Have you thought of using a Mazzei injector vers, the cone???

 

[Tom Barr]

Mazzi produces too much haze and micro bubbles for larger tanks.
