Ado, great effort. couple questions. did you completely remove the original substrate? I'm thing of doing a similar make-over, but I've heard about pH spikes etc etc if you completely remove/replace the original substrate. Did you notice any movement in the pH when you did the rescaping?

Ph was steady. I didnt change the sand this time.

I changed the sand about a year ago. As its inert it made no difference to the Ph.

If your current substrate is ADA or some other soil that buffers the Ph then you may see a change in the Ph when you change the substrate.
