Please excuse the pic quality (cheapo camera) and algae problem. Current inhabitants are 1 Festivum Cichlid (Mesonauta festivus), 4 Schistura mahnerti, 3 Sinibotia robusta, and 10 Rummynose Tetra (Petitella Georgiae). I'm going to be adding CO2 in the coming weeks to help with the algae and plant growth and probably doubling the Rummies. Substrate is Flourite, Filters are XP3 and AC110.

Nope, not really. I just have too much light over it and need to add CO2. It doesn't bother the fish and only takes 5 minutes to scrape. Call me crazy, but I like a lil algae in a tank. It's more natural IMO. Once I get CO2 running, it should be fine.
 
Man that is a great tank HN - love the fish selection too.

I'm with you on the algae, within bounds. I love the covering on the back and side panes. Lets see updates, especially as you add the CO2

Thanks man! Coming from you, I consider it high praise. Your planted African tank is spectucalar and one of the best of any I've seen.
 
How much light are you running?

Is that algae slimy? It doesn't look like GSA though it could be GDA.

Will look great when it fills in.

I've got some Alternanthera reineckii that would look great in there I'll trade for some shrimp.
 
Nice tank...........:)
 
I run half a Coralife 260. It is "slimy" / "Clingy".
