Hi Xiaozhuang, did I get it right?
it was a good deal so I hope I didn't get the wrong species

It means I try to keep nitrates in the tank between 1-5ppm... Depending on plant uptake rate, dosing will change. I.e. If I'm constantly testing above 5ppm nitrates I'll dose less, if plants start getting stunted from lack of N, I dose more. On some tanks dosing 1ppm every other day works, with 40% WC on weekend. On higher lighting tanks, maybe double that....
OR every 3 days.. depends on the tank. Some low light tank with some fish, I dose nitrates maybe once a week
i see. Thank you.
Nice! I wish to have such beautiful color plants too
Persicaria/Polygonum sp. 'Sao Paulo'. Nice leaf color but not particularly good for scaping, keeping a couple of stems for novelty sake. A sample bought from Taiwan

Proserpinaca palustris
Another masterpiece in the making, can't wait to see the front view
Shot before trimming, gonna re-arrange the center abit
Some close-up shots of Buceps on the right hand side of the tank

Hygro. Araguaia
Rotala macrandra Type 4 amidst other plants
Did your white cloud jump out of the tank?
I had 10 at first... after 2 weeks now left with 6... 4 decided to jump out...
Some construction pics & shots before further modifications

Added substrate

thanks for sharing the before photos!
won't there be any planting problem with the black stand? as time passed, will the black stuff be exposed when the soil start to fall?
Beautiful tank as usual
May i ask on your sand area, do you plant directly into the sand or are there soil subtrate beneath?
What are the recommended plants that can be planted into the sand substrate directly if I do not have soil beneath?
Thank you.
