Hello here is an update on my 8 gallon. I have found small tanks to be easier to clean but are very high maintenance when it comes to stem plants in such a small tank. I trim the plants every 3-4 weeks. I dose brighty K, occasionally some brighty step 1, ECA, and Green Bacter. Initially i had ammonia spikes and my shrimp have been dying off one by one...i had lost like 5 crystal reds. And now i put in a couple black diamonds and so i hope they can repopulate the tank.



this is i think. Microcarpea Minima and since i cut it low under bright lighting it kinda spreads like a foreground and forms a nice bush.
