This is my 3 month old African Cichlid tank. It is a 29 gallon planted (not so great) with sand and river rock substrate (again not great). I bought some plants from a place in Florida but most of them died off since I do not have CO2 injection. The remainder of plants aren't growing like the large plant in the right rear and the grasses on the bottom have not grown at all in 3 months. I am at a loss at what to do with the tank really.... the local fish store tested my water and said it was the best water he has tested in this area and its perfect for my Cichlids. Luckily it has sustained this clear water since cycling. I really just want it completely aquascaped but I am at a loss. My local fish store recommended me a 10000K bulb for my plants but it doesn't seem to do anything either. I have included a few pic's for everyone to see and give constructive criticism on. Thanks and try not to be so harsh. 
Also I have forgotten the varieties of plants that I do have since the website I ordered from doesn't exist anymore... LOL
