I think you made a good choice then. I suffer from ADD which is pretty the same as ADHD w/o the hyperactivity. So I know a little what your sons is going through. Too much stress is never good I can say from experience.. Aquascaping is great way to escape hectic life for me. I wish you and your family all the best and a great new start!

Thanks Bruno. I am subbed to your channel so I follow your videos to! :) In terms of testing I like to keep it simple to. When I started the hobby I wanted to test everything but many people told me not to do. I like it that way. But my scapes are relative easy plants. If you want more red plants for example I think testing is good. Why did you leave the UK if I may ask?

Thanks Vera, It is an honour that I can join this forum. Very nice scapes going on here in Portugal. I am from the Netherlands but forest scapes are not very common here. In fact I never found a dutch guy who made one. :p

Very nice scape

Lovely

Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate. Much things I learned from this scape my next one will be better (I guess). Hard to remove trees now they are deep in substrate. Would make a mess but you are right. I am also adding some myriophyllum guyanai n the back to create more 3d effect as my slope is flat. That is a beautiful plant (p helferi). I tried black background but my background is frosted doesn't look that nice. I like white more.
