Nice and neat. If I had the luxury of the tank size of yours, I would happily be doing all the DIY deco such an enjoyment.

U might wana consider to add some suitable stem plants to improve water quality?

Sweet looking piece of DW. Could it be your soil that's also pulling your ph down

You did a very good job. In time the slope will flatten though.

there is no confirm that your PH will be 6 after just a few days of cycling your tank! usually the ph will drop to around 5.3 during initial stage of cycling then it will slowly creep up to 5.8-6.3 when the tank is fully cycled. ( correct me if i am wrong)

i dont think need to add coral chip yet. just do regular water change.
