40x35x20cm Open-top cubic

it looks very wild, the glosso looks freshly planted.

Yes,i just planted the Glosso and take the APP out,bcz the APP seem to be incontrolable,just trimmed it 2 days ago then it became what you guys seen in the pic.

i didn't see any APP bro....

[sfk7]

If APP is uncontrollable and giving you a headache in maintaining, i don't know what glosso will do to you!!

Glosso is very invasive with high lights and rich substrate

I have to say that I agree that the focus of the tank seems to be a bit to spread out.

One way to over this is to let your background plants grow thick and strong while keeping the foreground as low as possible.

Just my 2 cents.

Do keep us updated, I like the potential of this tank.

The r0ck :
I just trimmed the plants and will add some rotala macranda "narrow leave" for a focus point,and some more plant for depth improve.

I saw some blur green patches in some of your tank pictures.. was wondering are those algae?

How much lighting you apply to your tank? saw 4 tubes .. may be too much ?? Just my 2 cents.

[zQ.]

Those are green algea on my glass,sometime i see a bit of Green dot algea on glass too but only when i overdose the Green brighty special light (which contains much N and P)
About the light,there are four T4 tube,each one is 8w so it is 32w over 28 litres,not to much right ?
