My planted tanks

Simple but very nice. If it does not require too much maintenance - it's wonderful home trank. You can enjoy your fish rather than worrying about plants.

Thanks Alexander. The left hand side needs more time to grow back in the next several months, but I'm happy with it
 
Just photo update

Next trimming is coming very soon
 
Not sure why my Rotal Rotundifolia is losing its redness. Instead its colour is now pink. Meanwhile Helanthium tenellum is gorgeous with its redness

Did a trimming after looking at this picture showing up on my screen

I can see some black spots showing on Anubias leaves. Anyone has idea about it?
 
My anubias also got some black spots on its leaves previously and I think it could due to the lack of nutrients. Normally, anubias store "energy" in the rhizomes and that energy will release slowly to the leaves for it to develop. So when you see the leaves has black spots or yellowish, might be the sign to dose more fertilizer to your tank.

Sometimes, melting leaves also due to the change of environment from emerged to submersed under water.

Added more dosing and black spots disappeared. Thanks for your suggestion Jacky. Ka me ka me ha!
 
It's time for a new update. I took down 125x45x55 and 35 cube. Sold the 35 cube and sent the 125x45x55 to local store to make an adjustment to 125x60x60

Had a quick video chat with Ryan this Tuesday and he asked me my plan to for it. I have yet decided for the layout but briefing him about the convex or island layout where I am going to reuse my plants, substrate and sand

Hello Ryan!

Anh Bui, that tank size 120x60x60 is my dream tank, man! Don't know when can I have it on my own due to the space constraint. Hehe. How did your local store adjust the tank? Nicely done!

Can't wait to see your new aquascape! ☘️

At the beginning i asked him to make a 125x50x50 from 125x45x55 and add 5cm more for tank stand. He demolished the tank, and we took a look at the possibility of reuse front and back pieces. Then I changed my decision not to reuse but make a new tank of 125x60x60 and add 15cm for stand. So it should be adjustment in double quotes
I also need to rearrange m stuff at home for it, therefore i am going to set it up with the owner and let him take care of it at the first month I can say it's not 100% from me but a co-work

Vietnam's yellow sand
Aqua Minh Long's dirt

What a beautiful spider woods that you have! This layout is very promising!

I just few the three big branches on the left parallel to each other makes it a bit imbalance. Just my opinion only...

Thanks. We have not finished it yet. I am waiting for more wood to make a final adjustment. I am not happy with right low corner either
 
Great to know that. For the fauna, I think 20 Rummynose Tetras are quite less for your tank size. I think you can have a school of 50! That would look awesome!
