    Weeyang,

    That's a very tall tank. How did you plant it?

    I hope you have seriously strong lighting to penetrate deep enough. Wow. That Hydrocotyle may struggle, mine did in moderate lighting. Hope you have better success.

    For a tank thats so deep it looks way to open. Its hard to fill up the upper quarters in a tank as deep as this. Do you have plans to fill up the open space with plants, or leave it as open water. Seems a waste, unless you have stunning fish. Like Red-Line Torpedo Barbs

    This tank will be suitable for the new HDB design.
    Cool tank. Only worry in planting and maintenance.

    nice tank i like the tall feature but it will be a challenge for me to maintain.. but no worries, you will have the equipment to saw off the excess height if there is a change of mind

    Yes there hair glass at the empty side, still thinking what to do with the big empty space i have there, as for the lighting i am using Illummax 4ft 54Wx 4, it seem ok. Any comment on the lighting is the light strong enough?

    Cheers! Finally saw your tank! Using Illummax 4ft 54Wx 4, for a 2ft depth, is definitely not enough. Metal Halide is the only solution to this tall tank. Your gravel is Lapis sand only?

    You've got Good Material stuff! Wondering your current is strong enough to circulate the deep tank! You can plant those not so demanding light plant, plant wont die but they will be more leggy only.

    you can try vallis, balansea..those plants will grow very tall, suitable for background and need not need strong light.
