    Recently done up this tank after switching to keeping shrimps instead of tetras.
    Added some boraras brigittae lately too. Any comments?
    Apart from switching to a external cannister filter (plans in the pipeline) what else can I do to improve?

    You need some visible hardscape to break up the monotony. Maybe some branches sticking out of your moss mound, a couple of stones in the foreground... That kind of thing.
    Call me Brian.

    P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

    Thanks, for your pointer. Thinking through, yah my scape certainly do need some hardscape.
    Will see what I can do about it.

    You also might want to consider little elements. Like the riccia for example. 2 riccia rocks on the left and right of the tank don't really frame the scape well and kinda "confines" it. Try to little a few smaller pieces around to widen the look.

    Your plant growth looks neat. Its time to start scaping with some hardscape as the basis.
    Studying the water chemistry and nutrients is a science.
    Knowing what plants to get and how to use them is an art.
    Aquascaping is a marriage of art and science, the logical and emotional.

    Thanks for highlighting, agree with you on the riccia growth confining feel, perhaps will look into how I can move them around.
    Looks like I really have to give adding hardscape some real thoughts.

    Thanks for your input.
