Hi everyone.

tried to keep it as close to nature as possible.

the tank is a cube 15 ciano.
i've swapped lighting for a nicrew 7w led
recently swapped out the filter that came with the tank for a eden 511 filter

the rear of the tank is densely planted.

i've seen some great plant growth, plants already trying to breach the surface.

these are the only products i've been using .
i've been doing frequent water changes, every 3 days.
substrate and soil both tropica.
no algae
i'm only giving plants 6 hours of light.
 
Nice looking tank! Be careful with those Nerite climbing out of the tank. You can try adding a thin layer of vaseline near the tank's ridge to act as an invisible fence.
