What's that light? Is it a combination of multiple fixtures? I really like what you've done with those rocks, very subtle!
 
added anubias nana on wood there and there

and this is my last night timelapse.
planted-shmanted in process

 
just a mix. Have Rasboras Kubotai, 2x dwarfs (male+female), and adopted pair of PK betta.
adopted from friend who kept them for a good while in 25L community tank. looks like
they cohabit well. they were fine at least in my 60L setup.
 
Ok! So..
changes in stock levels ..
No more Bettas. They are nice, I like them, but in separate tank :)

So now I'm stocked up to:
12 Rasbora Kubotai
12 Pygmy Coridoras
5 Gouramis
12 snails

will add next month some 3- Amano shrimps

Your sand looks yellow on fts but whitish on close-ups. How did you make it? Also, what's brand of such nice sand?

Shame but I have no clue about brand. just got the cheapest one in my LFS.

It is related how the light falls and how my camera meters it when the setting in camera is set to AWB (auto white balance). mainly it does vary from angle to angle and it may depend on the lens. actually it is yellowish

offtop.
@Lauris your Russian is very good. :)

In fact that I am Latvian :)
lol. where you got it from? aquafanat?
 
I'm looking for similar sand for my new blackwater project, unfortunately there is no yellow sand in LFS around. I think I jsut need to go to my river and get the sand from beach. I'm slightly worrying it has too small sized particles. Maybe it's OK.

yep, aquafanat :) I'm read-only there for some personal reasons. (я бы перевел на русский planted-shmanted как "травник-шмуравник" ;)
 
Just a quick question here.. when do you guys turn off your CO2?

I have the photo period as following -

3pm turns ON 2x28w bulbs
5pm turns ON the led panel (1k Lumens)
9.30pm OFF 2x28w
10.30pm OFF LED

So it gives me a photo period of 7.30 hours.
Strongest light is 5pm-9.30pm - 4.30 hours
Weakest light is 9.30-10.30 pm - 1 hour (end of the day)

My co2 kicks in 3 hours before lights - so it is 12pm
And it turns OFF at 9pm

is there anything I can adjust to make it better?

Thanks in advance!

p.s. additional info if needed:
Ferts in use as er book - EI (18ml daily switching from macro to micro)
EL EasyCarbo - 3ml daily
 
time for an update.

1 month since planted.

mainly trimming only Micrantherum umrosum (MonteCarlo) every week
leaves now develops nice and tiny

struggling with plant growth on right side both corners,
changed the direction of flow and co2 this week. will see
if it will turn better

Hi Lauris, this looks fantastic mate. I'm not normally a fan of 'paths' as they can look a bit artificial, but your's looks really nice, I think it's the way you've placed your rocks, it looks really natural. :clap:

Hio James!
Thanks for your input. I must forward the praise to my wife as she was the one assisting me on positioning those bits of stones :)
