*as long as they have enough light

Thanks! The blue tubes are airlines which supply air at night. Yes the dwarf baby tears are the green ones at the front and no they should stay like that sibling as they have enough light.

closer view of the scape (again taken a few weeks ago) which incorporates a large piece of mopani wood that I removed during my minor rescape of the big tank.

May as well add my new tank also... It's a 30L nano low light no c02 with some easy plants and flame moss. It's just finished cycling so tomorrow I shall attempt to move my 2 red crystal shrimp across (since I rarely get to see them in the other tank!) and my 3 otocinclus (same deal).

In the meantime here's one from a few weeks ago... Added some floating plants and removed/moved quite a bit of hard scape to provide more hiding places. The big plant (that is the scientific name I believe) in back left has gone haywire since, spreading huge leaves everywhere and an emergent...

Thanks guys! Will post an update tomorrow, plants have home completely mental since adding pressurised c02! As for the red plant yes I did find out but I forgot again, will find out for you...

Thanks very much! Yeah planted tanks look so much healthier in my opinion, plus it's a lot of fun placing then and watching them grow...

Latest update, slight rescape and fish added. Fish and plants doing great so far: Neon tetras Black phantom tetras Otocinclus Amano shrimp Red crystal shrimp

Good info thanks, I'm sure they'll be fine the tank certainly doesn't look crowded. Yes otocinclus is correct I just completely forgot the name for some reason!

Hello just wanted to get some advice on stocking my 72L aquael brillux aquarium. I'm not thinking of getting any more fish just wanted to check I'm not already overstocked.... I have: 9 neon tetra 7 black phantom tetra 3 corydoras (i think - Pygmy sucker fish things) 3 crystal red shrimp 7...

Steady stream I bubbles produced...

My diy c02 system in action...

Here's a pic of my diy c02 setup for anyone interested, I was assured by a shopkeeper that I wouldn't get e nought c02 out of a DIY system and I should invest in pressurised but plant growth has accelerated massively since I put it in and drop checker showing constant green colour...

Everything growing in really nicely, just want these nitrites to disappear so I can add some fish!

Plants all looking very healthy especially the baby tears up front which I didn't hold out much hope for! Also the colour is really coming out on the red plants (help identifying would be appreciated). Bit of algae growing now but keeping it under control, still waiting for nitrites to...

It's a 72 litre aquael brillux (20 us gal) which is 60x30x40 (L,W,H). Thanks tbh it's my first aquascape and just winged it really so pretty pleased with it, already looking forward to my next one...

I have the same aquarium with DIY co2 and I have a couple of those plants that are doing well, I even have dwarf baby tears starting to carpet

Dwarf baby tears from tropica. Yeah I'll keep updating as things develop, c02 has made a massive difference to growth rate and colour.

Cheers mate! More updates to come this weekend, and hopefully some fish next week...

A day after filling with water, some plants in (no idea what thy are though) no c02 or ferts yet. Tropica substrate Added anubias and dwarf baby tears in foreground. DIY c02 bubbling away nicely through ceramic diffuser . All seems well in latest photo, added a drop checker which is showing...

First attempt at aquascaping ever and first tank after a long absence from keeping fish. Absolutely loving the process still cycling at the moment can't wait to get some fish in there! I have tropica substrate I'm there under the black gravel and a DIY c02 system is producing just the right...

First tank after a long absence from fishkeeping, aquascaping is a lot harder than the pro's make it look!
