Thanks a lot Sir.
Just wanted to understand more on plant fertilisation part. Till now I have not started any dosing till. Only pressurised co2 and Finnex Ray2 light. Flourish NPK and trace are really costly. Hence not sure from where to start. Read some places about dry ferts. But not sure if it is available in india. I found 1 site,

http://www.aquariumfertilizer.com/

but shipping is extra 40$ . Any info on this will be much appreciated.

Go for EI Dosing.

Read these, you will find the salts in chemical stores, mainly near any university or college at your place. If you stay in Kolkata then u can find them in college street and if in Delhi @Rajiv Ji pls guide him, else you can contact Parthada he sells ready made Fert.

But start dosing immediately, else be ready for algae.

Thanks Vikram.
I am from bangalore. Anyone from bangalore who has info on dry ferts?
I used to have green algae, but controlled it by reducing photo period. Worried about other algae hence wanted to start with fert dosing asap.

Check the Bangalore University area, ask any Local Chemist of yours they can tell you the perfect address from, where you can buy the dry ferts.

Thanks Partha.
Please send me the details.

Regarding the stone I do agree . Initially i planned to do a Iwagumi Style setup with a sand water fall. But latter on I dont know what happened I just didn't want to keep 2 of my dragon stones under the table, hence just added them in the center and left it as it is as I didnt want to distrub the setup now.

The corner stone's purpose was to show case it as a mountain (didn't exactly how I wanted but managed it somehow) from where sand is falling to replicate the sand waterfall and below stones are just working as a sand storage.

Any advice on how I can change the centre stones with minimal disturbance will be a great help.

I would rather say take out those rocks and bring more plants and grow them without any issue.
