    Looks promising. However please plant more stem plants to avoid algae issues in future. Keep us posted.

    Re: First 5 footer.....

    i wonder which "expert" did that?
    i doubt a expert would recommand such quartz sand that would cut the roots of the plants.

    Re: First 5 footer.....

    The Game, can you tell us what equipment and accessories are used for your setup? Stuff like filter, substrate etc.
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
    Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.

    Have not been posting for a while but I cant resist not commenting on this one..

    I hope you will plant much much much much much more plants. Some stem plant, as suggested, will be good for the start, even if you want to keep it low maint in the long run. From the few pictures you have posted, it is all slow-grow plants, and VERY slow growing ones for that matter.. help yourself before algae takes over.

    In my honest opinion 12000k is too harsh for your setup.
    Can you PM me the party who did your setup?
