My Beginner 3ft

[grey_fox]

other plant dun have it.

foreground substrate is juz 1cm. coz i wanna hide it from view. i put 30kg in it. doing a slope design. now got 2 SAE only

tmr adding more plants.

1cm is too low... I suggest that you add in more gravel in.

BBA, squirt them with Seachem Exel...they'll turn reddish/white and melt away...

does it work??? thought excel is a fertiliser also if you squirt them won't the grow more??

[grey_fox]

Excel is a CO2 supplement. Anyways this is off topic already. Think there is a thread elsewhere on Seachem Excel and its effect on BBA.

So |Eddy|, how's the planting going?

[lEddyl]

as instructed. added more sand and plants. removed the rocks(no luck with dark granite rocks)
will post pics tonite when i got home.

btw... my nanas is recovering. yeah!

i stunt my plant last week i guess. 'ON' aircon too long. temp drop till 19-20º
melted 1 Eriocaulon sp

oso got green slightly visible alage on the glass and dw.
those on glass can only see from an angle. common rite?

[grey_fox]

Better if you can post a photo.

[lEddyl]

juz added 2x golden alage eater, 2x yamato, 1x whiptail cat

[grey_fox]

Getting there dude! Can see the difference in height for yor substrate, however, plant more!

Good to hear that your nanas are recovering

[Weirong]

You have quite an exotic collection of plants in that tank. However, it is really too sparsely planted for the amount of light you have. Plant as least 4 times more.
If you are not going to plant anymore, at least get a lot more floating plants...

[lEddyl]

yah. getting plenty of film alage due to light? (4x39watt)

i juz give my frien the frogbit...they grow too fast.

will love to plant more. waiting everyday for bros here to sell.
searching for red colour plants now.

exotic plants? all common leh. got from bros here and arofanatic
only the downoi(spelling rite?), fissiden on dw and the moss on wire(curly type dunnoe wat's tat.
those are from friends

[troyz]

nice , i like the colour of your gravel, it matches the greens that u have...

[lEddyl]

updates:
added some plants and the rocks(same piece, but i add spiky moss)

empty space actually have plants. not mature yet. foreground..i have no idea want i've pick. spiky or hc?

[michael lai]

Getting there Eddy,

[grey_fox]

Nice! Your plants look really healthy! Keep it up!

[kemp]

personally i would suggest that you'll use spiky moss as your foregound. anyway your spiky moss are really healthy! nice!

[lEddyl]

thanks for the support guys.

kemp, i'm lousy at choice of plants. somehow all the plants wasn't well scape imo. look at my foreground....got 6 types.

frankly the only thing i like in there are those on the DW and rocks now. the rest! simply there to prevent alage. newbies all like that huh.

[michael lai]

It doesn't matter if you are a newbie or veteran, but you had fun right? That's all that matters.. When I Started also like that my first tank was like the united nations more like the LFS's tank that is used to contain plants.

[ziyao]

plants plants plants.... i think with more plants then ur tank shd look much better

[lEddyl]

Updates:
Can recommend me low-tech red plants for the background?
foreground....think i've remove the spiky moss once my 1.5ft is ready. replace with downoi nice?
