[mordrake]

this is my setup after some adding in the diy co2
current fishload;
1 pair adult holland rams
10 boraras maculata
4 cardinals
1 sae
7 bee shrimps
abit too much? i know sae n shrimps abit early too add since no algae yet

also bought JBL ferropol as liquid fert - good?
(haven't used it though)

any other comments to improve will be greatly appreciated

saimese algae eater... weighing the possibilty of replacing it with a zebra oto (won't grow as big as sae)

your rain tube put it lower in the tank to reduce co2 loss through surface aggitation.

the sae and shrimps did not come in too early, in fact they are usually the first organism that should go in, by the time you wait for algae to appear, too late oredi... prevention better than cure..

i presume that rock will have riccia sprouting out? maybe a denser foreground after a while with hairgrass or APP will be nice...

JBL ferropol not bad, used it when i first started also... but after some time, hand itchy, will upgrade to other stuff like seachem etc etc...
