Best dream setup
If only i have a room too, would have done one like yours. What's the temperature of the tank like?
I decided to transfer my sakura shrimps over to a new tank. Setting up a tank next to where my computer is. Is a slim 2 feet tank by Gex.
Dimension: 600 x 200 x 250mm
Volume: 26 litres
Lighting: Aquasonic Sirus LED 60cm
Soil: Gex Shrimp and plant 4kg
Fertilization: Excel, P, K, Comprehensive. (all from seachem)
The tank was setup on 11.8.2012, wanting the plants to be more establish first before posting it.
Day 1:
First time trying this plant, Ranunculus inundatus (fingers cross):
Other plants include glosso and Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides:
How the tanks looks like in my room, with 4 feet tank on the left and the new 2 feet on the right, woke up every morning and first thing is look at my garden:
Day 17:
Sakura shrimps and microrasbora is transfer to this tank.
Close up shot of the glosso spreading:
55 days since setup, glosso is spreading well:
More updates coming~
Advice from boss Felix
Nice setup
Very nice!
Your glosso can carpet with just LED? I was under the impression that LED is not strong enough. So i have been using 2x8w T5 for my 1 foot tank.
Oh and do you have a pic of your bigger tank? Show us!
Nice layout. Well selection and placement of driftwoods: the size, proportion and shape, makes your tank look bigger than 60cm.
Thanks for all the nice comments.
Yup I am using a very bright LED. Which have more light bulbs. So far its been growing the glosso well. The larger tank link is in my signature. Theres alot changes to it at the moment. Will update there soon.Originally Posted by gid
The tank is around 29 deg most of the time. Fan is on during day time via timer. Yup, I totally enjoy waking up and look at my tanks first thing in the morning.

Hi, may I know where did you get the good quality Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides, & any tips to planting them?
I got them from c328. On a tray outside the shop. Is not always there all the time. Most of them didn't survive well in my tank actually. Only a few bunch of plants survive. I plant them like glosso, cutting each plantlet and insert into soil. So far, they don't seems well in my tank actually.
Very nice setup on both tanks!
Here some recent updates (taken with iPhone, most of my photos are taken with iPhone):
Day 82, plants still growing well with just excel and fertilization. Glosso slowly spreading well.
Added new shrimps to the tank

Some updates:
Stem plants growing well. (which I need help in ID them)
The stem plant. There's 3 leaves per node. ID anyone?
And I just got this Bucephilandra 'Deep Purple' to try. Totally love it. Not sure if the name is really correct.
Its HM (Hemianthus micranthemoides)
Ah thanks. Just as what I have guessed.
8months after setup. Plants had been changed.
Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' planted few weeks back:
Pellia:
hi bro...may i know where you bought the Rannunculus plant...thanks
Hi, where did you get your Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' from? And are you dosing iron, or do the leaves stay this red with Excel, Seachem Flourish, P and K? Also, is that C. Parva in front of the pellia? How's the Bucephilandra 'Deep Purple' doing? Thanks.
Oh I brought it from c328. It's not there all the time. Once awhile they carry stock of it
