Base Fert=JBL Aqua
Lighting= 2x36 pl light

pls comment

but one problem, there r lot of brown threads on many plants,very ugly and dirty looking. I suspect algae, anyone can confirm? Sorry cannot provide picture as DC not that good cannot focus well.

hello..

i feel its a bit too symmetrical ...
the left looks exactly like the right and the thingy in the center..
maybe u can shift the driftwood more to the left or to the right (your preference) maybe u can hide ur filter by repositioning ur indian fern more to the side ?
and that artifact.....er.... let your hamster have it[] [] j/k...

that H. polysperma and indian fern gonna over grow very soon (ppersonal experience)[] and u'll need to trim trim trim....[]

eeeks ! dyed tetras !![:0] []
just some comments from an "old newbie"
hope u enjoy ur planted tank for many years to come!

What's a dyed tetra? I only see regular neon tetra and other characins.

think he's referrin to those white/pinkish blackskirts. duno whether they are dyed or just albino.

[hwchoy]

ahh probably albino, didn't know you could dye a blackskirt white!

[juggler]

Good start. Perhaps the fast growing H.polysperma can be used as a background when they are taller? Can also try E.tenellus instead of Riccia again in the foreground.
Keep it up!

u mean those pinkish tetras are albinos ?
i thought they were white then dyed pink....
i saw some greenish some orange some pink in LFS before... confirm dyed one...
