It is a small tank. I bought around 3 big sized algae ball. Some areas would need the black pebbles to clamp them now. After 7 months, they have merged and covered up quite well.

I dun have a fixed regime. Will only on the light when I switch on my air conditioning. During the day or when I am overseas, I do not on the lights and the temp can go up to 30 Deg C as well.

I have malayan shrimps. A few only and some ramhorn snails.

The moss is nice........ looks very soft and flowy huh????

Overall I like the use of the marimo balls.

Sorry for getting back late. Took me a while to ponder.

Since the on start I also have the feel that the yellowish rock is too big and the worst thing is I cannot find comparable coloured pebbles. However, as in most planted tank, the annonying thing is that we could not often find the "right" piece of rock or wood. This is made worse by the fact that the tank is only 5 inches tall and rock of that size is really hard to find.

I would have hoped that the yellowish rock could have been covered with green spot algae . lol However, it didnt go as plan and the algae ball didnt grow to cover it as well.

The right was meant to be dim as the Anubias sp. Golden heart on left is already quite overwhelming in addition to the yellowish rock.
