I like the look of the layout and the plants look nice and healthy.

Good job plating up the grasses!

Thanks for sharing.

Hi, looking good mate , I see you have introduced your livestock, how long did you wait before doing so? Has the soil you used affected the chemistry of the water? I am setting up a similar tank but need to introduce my fish etc asap. Carry on updating this one please ,should be good to see it progress .good luck!

Hi all not posted for a while iv got a few pictures of the tank its grown a little but nothing major i dont think.

I currently have 3 cardinal tetras, 6 black neon tetras, 1 otto, 4 sterbai corys and started with 8 cherry shrimp now have around 20+. Iv only added 1 new piece of bogwood to the right of the tank which iv ordered some weeping moss and spikey moss to put onto all my pieces of wood. Some quick questions i need help with ease-
1. Whats best way to add the mosses to wood
2. Im wanting to add a couple more plants any suggestion that would be pretty easy growing? Wanting some nice round and bushy?

Hi thanks for the nice comments i introduced 6 cardinals and cherry shrimps after about a week and only got 3 cardinals left but have alot more cherrys then i started with. The chemistry never really changed but was doing water changes every otherday but now do it once a week but i do have the light on around 10 hours a day but i think its better on for around 6 if i remember right from the advice i got
