whao the improvement is much better! maybe add a few more narrow left java fern.. and also some more twig looking wood. sooner or later, your plants will cover some of the wood making them less visible..

Hi all

a pictorial update on my planted tank.

overall view:


some minor adjustments
-removed the unhealthy looking moss on the driftwood and retied, new, healthy looking moss
-added a rock of fissiden on the extreme right of the tank



glosso, closed up view.




glosso, top view. stil lots of gaps to be covered though.


closed up view of the driftwood and moss:




and yes, from the last pic, it's obvious...sad to see algae appearing on the acrylic surface.
i tried ways like
-cranking up the co2 during lighting period
-reducing lighting period to 8hours
and stil cannot find the correct balance. Any experts here can give some advice on
how to rectify this algae issue?

Thanks!

Some minor algae are unavoidable in planted tanks. Guys has been asking how to remove all slightest algae but it will not be a planted tank without its occupant. For those minor algae on the glass or acrylic surface, just use a soft filter wool and rub them during wc.
