    Yeah this tank turns out better than expected... but again, buying plants is easy, planting is easy too... the real challenge remains Seriously I do not think this tank has anymore space for shrimps.
    Currently i have an iwagumi with moss backing and jap HG, managed to have some success after facing problems for 3 months. Lost alot of shrimps back then including several pots of HG.

    I followed silane advise early this year -> "make sure your plants grow well, and your fauna will also". hehehe, very good advise indeed. So im finally keeping boraras B. with nerite snails right now. Less than 4 livestock in my 10L but im really contented.

    Personally, I believe Iwagumi tanks (especially those with large expanse of foreground plants) are very difficult to balance during the first few months. It takes a lot of understanding and balancing since there is a lacking of major nutrient consumers/exporters.

    Evo,
    This is the way to do planted tanks with minimium algae issues Plant heavy lol!
    Jervis,
    Thanks for the list of plants, at least some of us will know how they look once they are well taken care of. Really helps with future aquascaping.

    The unidentified plant could be 'Hottonia palustris'

    Major updating...

    Felt there's a need to revive the tank as it was losing focus point (concept)... so I rolled up my sleeves today and introduced a pebble path



    I transfered the Cryptocoryne parva to another tank and slowly use a small plastic container to fill the soil base with Gex decorative sand/pebbles. The process was surprisingly simple



    I am happy with this improvement as it adds more space to the tank... at least there's a clear concept now





    What do you guys think?

    I like your setup, even I am new at AQ, but I can see your skill already reach to a certain stage. Like your design...keep it up.

    One of the things im most scared of doing is rescapes like this, seems you can pull off stuff like this with minimum effort. lol. Tank looks great. You;ve swapped your diffusor with drop checker as well hehehe.
