Nice aquascape. Need to drop your water level a bit; your light mount is in
Im probably just going to mount it to shelf above the tank its all plastic as well so shouldnt harm anything
 
it appears the light mount is backwards. should not the tightening screws be on the outside of tank. can it be reversed??

If i put the light the other way there would be metal in the water instead of the plastic side
 
Tank going strong

Figured out the light stayed on for a few days and bleached the mushroom but everything is doing better after fixing that. Started dosing nitrates and phosohates since there is no nutrients in the tank.

Little update before i have to move it. Still have the mocha storm and had to remove the rock flower.
Cool update, its nice to see nature taking it’s course. Clearly a well maintained tank. I like the scape too and the gsp on the back wall. Awesome nano! I wouldn’t get any work done with that there lol

Always nice watch when working
 
Had to move the 5 gallon today all was good till the last little push and the tank cracked. the light bracket bounced to much and cracked the side of the tank. sucked out water as fast as possible and put everything into a 5 gallon bucket. Got a new to me 10 gallon from a friend so now the tank is a 10.
