    Happy Diwali! Since I am free today, I thought of posting my setup with some photos.
    Basically I have a few types of plants in my setup and I want my scape to be open and a big part of the tank is dedicated to the front and mid ground plants.

    Frontal view


    Gujing (not sure of its variant) can anyone help to identify?


    Downoi


    UG with white nana at the front



    Bucephalandra corner


    Last but not least, reckencii "mini"

    Hi bro. Very nice scape. Care to share the exact dimension of the tank size? What type of soil are you using?

    The tank dimension is 60 by 40 by 40 12mm glass. Ada II soil at the bottom and planta ANS soil at the top layer. The soil combination was recommended by the uncle at Y618

    http://s1349.photobucket.com/user/ta...r1rn7.mp4.htmlI took a video and uploaded to the photobucket. Not sure whether it works because this is the first time I link the video.

    I also think it is eriocaulon sp. Vietnam. I saw that you have this plant. Do they look alike?

    If you look at my setup again, it's the same as the one on the left.....

    I'm still trying to figure out the one on the right-hand-side of my tank.....

    Hello Hann,

    Good setup, what is your Co2 regime? fertilizers? and filtration unit?

    It will be useful information for all of us..

    Co2 was switched on and off together with the light for 3.25hrs from 11am and another 3.75hrs after a break in between. The 3.75hrs was from 6 to 9.45pm so that I can see my tank when I am back from work.

    Fertilizer wise I follow the seachem recommended table, all except for nitrogen and phosphate as I believe my tank livestock and daily feedings are able to provide these. No fertilizer dosage on the weekly water change day of 50%. Iron on any other days. Flourish on the first and sixth day after water change day. trace on the second and fourth and potassium on third and fifth.

    My Teco tr10 set at 25.5C is connected with an ehiem Pro2 2026 filled with biohomme plus and ceramic rings on the top and bottom tray respectively.

    Live stocks : 14 coral purple pencilfish, 2 wild dwarf ram, 3 emperor purple tetra, 1 ruby tetra, 1 Galaxy, 2 rainbow fish(Gertrude), 2 Pygmy, 1 hastasus, 5 Otos and a lonely Sakura shrimp.
