Quick up date, Had to pull the tree put the branches keep falling off  >:(. Any one have suggestions on how to keep them in place glue (2 part epoxy) dosnt seem to work.

Tie-wraps or stainless screws. Put a bit of moss around it, it will be covered in no time and no one will ever know it's there ;-)

Another up date,
After a hellish fight with Rhizcolonium I was finally successful! I turned up the CO2 shortened the light cycle and start dosing Excel and it started to disappear. I am in the process of WC's to remove the dead algae, in the pic you can see some in the bottom left corner of the tank that brownish area.
The tank is starting to come together, as you can see it is in need of a trim again... ::). I have ordered my moss and i am going to put the tree back in, in a few weeks.
I will also start dosing the tank next week, going to start really light and go from there.
