After running this tank for 8 months, I feel like I have to rescape it again. The reason is I don't like the playsand I use for the stream in the middle. And...well...look at the pic...there is no more space for my fish to dig in. So here I go: start again.
The main point in this tank is the driftwood bonsai tree I got as a gift from my brother Riversun. I have used xmas moss for it the whole time, but this time I will use weeping moss. Here is the pic of the tree with xmas moss:

I took the driftwood off the tank

Sold the moss to a member on TPT

I got some fellows asked me to sell the tree but I can't...sorry it's a gift...but bext time when I come back to Vietnam, I will try to bring some more back here...
Anyway, I took all the plants and fish to another tank, removed water and the playsand...then used 15lb of Floramax on to the old substrate. And here we go

Now take sometimes to tie the weeping moss I have on the tree

And try some rocks

I know...I know...it is really dirty, I spent another hour to remove the old ammonia and NO3 and clean up the glass, fill in the water

That is for today!!! Will be updated

Thanks folks!!!
 
Update day 2: Do a 60% WC. Time to put the plants back in the tank. Half of the plants was sold to someone so it didn't take much time for me to plant it.

Put some red ramshorn snails in to see how they doing.
 
Updated: put some more rocks in for the scape and plants glossos and 4 leaves clovers in the front. Gloss didn't do well from the previous, hopefully they will do good this time. Don't have enough time to do dry start though

Updated: day 3 I put some baby tears to the right side of the tank. Do 50% water change. And the fish will be ready to be back the next day.

As of today, my tank is messy again, I have nowhere to put the moss driftwood pieces so it's back to the tank again

Been more than 2 weeks and my fish and shrimps are happy
