Craftsman's New (2nd hand) 3ft Tank

[craftsman]

Hi all,
Have been away for a little bit as have recently changed jobs. Just managed to move into my new house on 1st May, and have put in a new 3ft tank. De-commissioned my 2.5ft tank 3 weeks back.
Actually, I didn't spend alot of time planning and doing this tank up. All I knew was that I wanted slow growers, and then I headed out getting crypts, etc. Used the Blyxa Japonica, moss from my old tank, and completely did away with the background plants which I had to trim every 2 weeks.
It was about 12am when I began planting, and was done about 45 minutes later..... You can see it's not done very well. Will have to keep improving on it as I go along.

Thanks bro... No, not ada lily pipes.. generic OEM ones.... No, not riccia, but moss. Up till today, they were on the bttom. But, dunno how come it started floating today. Strange.
