Default My lousy planted tank.
Hi all, I am new to this forum and would like to introduce my planted tank.

The water cloudy due to the biological filteration down. Caused the bacteria bloom and some death fish.

It is 87 gallon (4x1.5x1.5 feet). Standard 4 footer tank in Malaysia.
6x36W Philips and Osram PL light tubes.
KH3
PH6.2 (trying to make it lower than 6)
Temp. 26-27degree Celcious. (no fan or chiller)
50% weekly water change.

Welcome to APC!

I think you have a splendid planted aquarium. I love the field of Blyxa japonica with the tetras swimming over it. Also, you have the challenge of making this aquarium viewble from three sides --which you did quite well, I might add.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

the other tank pic taken by mobile phone camera. So the resolution is a bit out and blur. Sorry about that.

Mixed SA cichlid- Discus with African Riverine cichlid - Blockhead. I am not really setup this tank. Just simply throw the rock and drift wood inside the tank.

You can upload more pictures to your personal album and link to them via URL from your posts.

I am not sure that lowering your Ph under 6 is such a good idea, specially for the tetras... I have no personal experience keeping them, though.
