Hi Felix
Finally got to see your tank, looks clean and green to me.
The rocks are nice too.
Please try to post a bigger picture.
You have quite a high lighting setup, no algae problem without CO2? (I heard you saying you getting CO2 right?)
are those spiky moss on the wall from me?

Not really algae free to be frank, my sergent malayan shrimp always never clean always leaving the bottom untouched. I do manual removal for hair & staghorn algae i can spot twice weekly.Hi Felix

Hi Felix
How long have you grown the blyxa japonica in the tank? Don't they need co2 to thrive? Thanks!
Hi beetroot,
Their with me for a couple of months (around 3-4), i got them from a nice bro who kept them in Co2 enriched waters. Initial growth was slow, due to new home no co2.
I've since thread start, have changed to 2 X 36W PL.
BTW, i have a small 1 footer outside my place. The growth there is slow as hell.
That tank gets less sunlight.
