Many thanks, I only chose very easy slow growing plants, mainly anubias, there are 4-5 varies in there, needle fern, bolbitis, also I only keep shrimp in the tank, mind you shrimp are messy guys I think their waste is enough to keep the plants going, I only feed them 1-2 a week. Light is only 11w and I only keep them on for 5 hours per day. In terms of filters I use what came with the tank, very small internal which has a small spraybar, works well for this tank.
The key is always to fill the tank up with plants from the start, rather than building it up as you go along, I spent about £40-50 on plants for this tank at the start and now just enjoy it. I have tried some mosses and they don't seem to do well in this tank but everything else is fine.
I did try to dose some micro at one stage but got an outbreak of algae so stopped and went back to no dosing at all.
