Kean Huat Yeap Forest Park, United States

Comments

It will look much better if the plants are cut down with a pair of scissors some times!

This is a pretty tank but overstuffed with both fish and plants! The Vals are just too large to add to the aquascape of a tank of this size. The Nymphaea is a lovely plant but it too is awfully big for this tank. At very least its floating leaves should be pinched back hard and regularly to encourage the growth of more submerged growth and less floaters.

Additional Information This is my first ever planted tank and it was setup in August 1999. I considered myself as a beginner in planted tank since I had no prior experience in aquatic plants. I try to create a "low tech" beautiful planted tank. I'm learning everyday and try to improve my knowledge in aquatic plants. I started to dose PMDD in middle of August 2000 and converted from DIY CO2 to pressurized CO2 system at about the same time.
