Very soothing effect. Really like the mixed foreground as well, cause they seem to blend in so harmoniously.

You could share your tank specs for the benefit of others

Tank specs....

Substrate:
lapis mix with ada amazoian

no fert regime

base Fertiliser:
depoint mix with super root monster

Flora:
Echinodorus tenellus
Hemianthus callitrichoides
Hair grass
Glossostigma
mini moss
ludwigia brevipes

Fauna:
one orange molly
cherry shrimps
CRS

Lighting:
36W PL
-photoperiod: btw 8 to 12 hours daily

CO2 injection:
pressure canister CO2 using bioplast regulator for more precise bubble count

Filtration:
eden 304
-filter wool
-biohome

fan is running 24/7. during the night got aircon. so most of the time the light is on at night. top up of 1.5L of water every 2 to 3 days

tank is more than 4 months old. waiting for ludwigia brevipes to grow. cherries are breeding like rabbits.

CRS are in there tempoary till my other tank is ready. then will look for some fishes to put in. any suggestions for wad fish to put in?

36w with co2 injection but no addition of liquid fert?

Wow.

Impressed!

fishes wise, see if you can get Corydoras Hastatus or maybe Mircorasbora Kubotai? I dunno, heard they are really small. If not the common ones like Boraras Brigittae or rasboras can suffice.

Kobutai is not small

Nice, bright and cheery. How about a front tank shot? Perspective can change opinions

The red might seem fine now, but might be too gaudy when it grows on. Replacing half of it with green stemmed plants might be nice.

swee swew lah...when will i get to see it???

i somehow feel tat the moss on the tip of the bogwood is a bit off. also as i'm a bogwood person, i oso feel tat a few more branches from the centrepiece would improve the feel.

which tip? hmm this one meant as a gift ma. so the tank abit more simple one. this bogwood i choose is purposely chose with less branches. so will have more space for the fish to swim.

bro one of this days when i'm more free. now holiday. will give ya a call..

sorry....not exactly tip lah. i was referring to the RHS of the tank where there is a cluster of moss next to the tank wall. that cluster looks kinda out of place.

enjoy yr holidays......

......such good life....

Wow nice tank!
Great potential once the ludwigia brevipes grow bushy and tall.

BTW your 1.5 footer looks bigger and deeper.
What's the size? Is it a 1.5' cube?

Regards
