First planted tank, let me know your thoughts!
I was told to plant heavily, so I did. Everything's settled in nicely and the shoal of 15 harlequin rasbora seem quite content in their new home, along with zebra nerite snails and amano shrimp. The tank's been up and running for just less than 3 months and I've had no algae thanks to my cleanup crew, large initial water changes, careful lighting, CO2 and ferts. The first fish (6 harlequins) went in after a month with the rest joining their tank mates last weekend.
I'm planning on adding 3 ottos to help with cleaning those hard-to-reach areas as well as some cherry shrimp.
I inject CO2 via an inline diffuser, dose ferts weekly and lighting is on for 8 hours (around 2 hours at 100%)
