Hi Tom, ADA ferts are quite good but when you use them in immature thank. It tends to create more algae as it's so rich.

Thanks so much guys for your help, I will be trimming them tomorrow and will update more photos soon. :D

Thanks, I'm not quite happy with the result of Glosso. They are kind of leggy. I will keep an eye on them. :? Thanks Chris, tank is wide and shallow so light can get to Glosso properly and yes, that rocks are kind of disappearing. I will trim the plants on Friday as it will be almost 3 weeks...

Rotala and HM arrived next day. It didn't take long for me to finish the tank set up. I prepared myself for the build up of algae on the first week but it wasn't too bad. Now 2 weeks since I started. Glosso has growth so fast also tenellus, things seemed what I expected so far but they just...

Hi guys, It's been two weeks since I started this tank. The idea is I just want to experiment to grow glosso in low-tech nano tank with Iwagumi layout.(just fitted in my kitchen) I got the rocks from Thailand when I went for holiday also ADA powder soil which is very cheap there, so this is my...

Re: Matts 60L Consider amount of plants in your tank, Do you have algae problem? I would put more plant at back on the left likes tenellus or parvula to soften HC and taller plant. Very nice lay out though!! :D

Thanks again!! I can see lots of attention you did to your tank. excellent work :D

What is the size of your tank? HM seems to grow quite tall. By the way, your tank looks stunning. I love to get ADA style tank like this too (I'm thinking of 90*45*45 cm optiwhite glass) Can you recommend where to get it from?

Thanks so much guys. They just look identical when immerse :o

I've bought tropica plant Hemianthus micranthemoides from TGM. It looks very short and very similar to Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba'. Did they send me a wrong one or HM is supposed to look like HC when come in the pot. Any idea :?:

Thanks Tom, you are right. Sagi grows fast and started to spread everywhere. :? I'm thinking about growing Staurogyne sp. instead.

Thanks so much, I will give it a go :D

I had algae problem when I just started the tank, but with help from platy and picking up algae I noticed it did help a lot, thanks for your advice. :D

Thanks Andrews, I did use the light that come with it but I bought another 11W to make sure it was sufficiant for the size of the tank. What type of daylight bulb did you use?

Thanks Steve, I have learnt a lot from the first tank. Hopefully will do better next time. :)
