Many years ago, lightings levels vs ferts vs co2 could be difficult to gauge. Now a days with LEDs, it's almost impossible (for me at least). What I can say: That light fixture is almost 1/2 the wattage as mine. 35.8w vs 60w. Your tank is also deeper than mine. CO2 may or not be...

Which light is it? how deep is the tank?

It's getting there:

Just a weekly FTS:

Thanks. Here is a nice shot of the Ranunculus inundates (Taken with an iPhone. sorry) And a hitchhiker that came with the plants a couple weeks ago (Not including the thread algae and pond snails. :( ) Riccia fluitans

Just letting it grow in. Foreground is starting to fill in as well. Purchased some algae eaters to help with the algae. Currently in QT: 3 ABN plecos and 6 otos. Plus some MTS.

PFS and no fert tabs. I did use Eco complete many years ago, but didn't see any benefit and disliked the color. Quite a few substrate products on the market now that seem worth trying.

Just letting it grow. Still have plenty of plants spread out to allow them to grow faster. I did add some Trident fern as I think it's a pretty cool looking plant. And finally, all my tissue cultures are finally converted. A couple of them took several weeks. Namely the Rotala wallichii...

The best place would be from another hobbyist or local club. Have you tried your local petsmart or petco? They typically carry nana and java fern.

Got some plants in. Here is the lastest pic of the tank: Going to take some time to grow in. Current plant list: Alternanthera reineckii Alternanthera reineckii 'cardinalis' Alternanthera reineckii lilacina Ambulia sessiliflora Ammania sp. bonsai Bacopa caroliniana Cabomba caroliniana...

It's from years ago, but I really like PFS.

Found a nice sum of plants that should help fill out the tank: 15 - Rotala nanjenshan 2- alternanthera reineckii lilacina 6 - alternanthera reineckii 20- P. Gayi 5- ranunculus inundatus 8- polysperma sunset 12- polysperma green 16- Ambulia 15- mini myrio green 12- vallisneria 4 pygmy...

CO2 is up and running fine now. Using one of Purrbox's (Old forum member) CO2 counters: Here is the Glasso (Has just a tiny amount of green in it. Not sure it's gonna make it) Lobelia cardinalis 'Small Form': Topped the Rotala yesterday: The Bacopa caroliniana is starting to grow. As you...

Thanks for the info. I think I'm set on plants. Found someone selling a nice amount from another forum. Quite expensive, but I need plants. I have joined a couple FB groups as well.
