Hi,
I've shared some pics of my planted tank, which is 2 by 1 ft and comprises of Aqua clay as substrate, 36W PLL and few varieties of tetra.
Suggestions are welcome for improvement.
Photos here,

Hi Razeen,
Welcome to IAH.
You have a crystal clear tank and the water is so clean.
I think you can make the plants more thicker.
I am not sure how good is aqua clay for growing plants.
If you have an option to add 1 inch of Ada soil at the top, you can try that.
I think it will give a good difference.
Bet regards
Sujo |

Hi!
Nice tank, are you using a HOB or a canister filter?

@Razeen ,,,
LOOKS GOOD... My only suggestion, the clay which you are used is good... but top up with some black soil.. which will give you
more dainty... |

HI Razeen,
Looks good!!!!
You can try adding a driftwood to the mix... and tie some Java moss to it... will make it look good!
Excellent tank BTW....
MORE pics please! |

| Crystal clear water... What filtration are you using? You need to replant your Rotalla. Cut the rotalla stem and re-plant it from the middle. |

The plants look healthy. Thats a good start. You can work a little more on the layout.
And is that a small wrecked ship that I see hidden behind the plants??  |
