my first 30cm cube

[BuTLeR]

my plants inside are tennellus , tiger lotus . nanas petite and a unknown plant .

[phira]

hmmm... how about adding a driftwood or something to create a focal point?

Bro BuTLeR,

Your unknown plant is Crypt Parva.
If you intend to have it as your foreground plant, you need at least twice the amount and lots of patience.
It's good to trim the roots too as it promotes growth; I can see the roots sticking out
Mine just threw out runners after 4 months

Parva is nice and easy to maintain!
you might like to shift the tiger lotus, the space at the corner seems a bit small. This plant can grow quite big...

haha... A tank is never too small for a hardscape... A correct sized dw or stone can really give the tank character!

Your Eheim filter seems to take up lots of space and create a distraction. Maybe change the internal filter to a smaller size like Eden 304/306 or use small external filter like Eden 501 or use an overflow filter? If you use overflow filter, you will lose CO2 faster. I prefer Eden 306.

you mean overflow filter like HOF ?

[blur2x]

you mean overflow filter like HOF ?

Yes. Come to think about, if you have space around the tank, then Eden 501 may be a better choice.

yes i agree.... this filter is for me to cycle my tank .... gtg to change soon .... hands itchy can't wait to plant more inside
