    Looks dark and mysterious, I didn't see any fauna here except for a platy? What do you plan to have?

    I figure you can push the CO2 bps to 3-4 since there's hardly any fauna.
    ...I love rubies too ...

    Tank as at 11/03/2007.
    Did nothing much, except maybe adding some erected moss on wiremesh in preparation for a moss wall, and some usual trimmings and planting here and there.

    upped my fert regime and co2 to 3-4 bps.

    Bro, nice aquascape. I think with school of cardinals in your tank will boost your aquascape more nicer.

    The passion for aquascaping and apistogramma never fade away

    thanks man.
    was thinking of the following faunas, in a bid to deviate away from the crowd =X :

    -columbia tetras
    -rummy nose tetras
    -otos
    -cherry shrimps

    You might want to put in more Rotalas at the back. Looks abit sparse now.
    Either that or make your scape into a convex one so as to put the nice piece of DW you have as the main focal point.

    thanks man! =)

    actually i am trying to move the 2nd plant from the left (don't know the name yet) and move it to the right , taking the lindernia sp's place, removing it altogether, cos somehow, i feel the lindernia sp doesnt blend into my background. I am waiting for the plants to propagate then make them more dense.

    getting another light to supplement the lighting requirement.
    Think i still falling a tad low on the WPG side...

    Hi nice aquascape. Real cool. Anyway i think the list of fauna would look good in your tank, especially the rummynoses.

    not yet though
    right now the habitants are still the same old platies and columbia tetras.
    (+ 4 rummy noses fries)

    will add in the cherry shrimps and adult rummy noses once the scape is more stabilised. (and also remove the platies)

    dun think will add in too many varieties , cause i realised, for planted tanks, actually the more simple the fauna, the nicer they blend in
