I’ve had it going for about 8 months now. Originally it was going to be only CRS, but unfortunately my KH was repeatedly on the rise. After testing my rocks, my water, etc I came to the conclusion that it’s due to the pea gravel I used in filter bags to prop up the rocks.

So though the CRS population has dwindled, there is still life. I got some RCS instead, which seem to be doing well, as well as 3 Amanos and 12 Pygmy Cory catfish.

Just wanted to share my aquascape :) I am happy to answer questions - I did a good amount of research but keep in mind this is my first tank.

Edit: please ignore the ugly fresh trim on the Rotala, and the horrible background!

    What is that beautiful red plant you have in there? :)

    Edit: Did you also make a boom for your RRFs? xD

      The pinkish red in the back is Red Amania. The smaller red here and there is Ludwigia Super Red.

      And yeah lol bought it off Etsy. I don’t want them covering the entire thing because most of my plants need more light
