i like carpets.... if i ever get a bigger tank HC is foresure hehe...
but now i want java moss... great for the 1st time nooblet
 
lol my 2.5 planted tank get 25 watt,and it's a save energy bulb
 
How did you make that diy sponge filter?
 
aquaclear sponge+ 2 heater holders(suction cups) + uplift tube, and since it was narrow DIY airstone...
+airpump lolol
 
seem to have some thread algae, in a hard to reach locatio, i removed some mechanically by hand but cant seem to get the rest..so just wondering.. any critter that can help out with this problem in here and perhaps thrive in here?
still no plant updates, the moss is growing nicely , have to retie hte carpet as its getting slightly loose...
sponge filter isnt working as effectively as i want ti to however... may do a DIY open top box filter instead...

i love my ideas.. i tried taking a close up shot of hte tank where it seems that the algae is appearing to see if you guys can id it... i mainly have 2 main problems right now which are 1- algae 2 underfiltration.
 
Ive notice some growth in the moss, but hair algae as well, not matter how much i try to remove it , more popps upp.

So now thats how hte tank looked last nite when i took some shots.
I need more plants in there...and to get myself a weak HOB, to make room in the tank.
For the back im deciding for eitehr for Rotala Rotundia or some Bacopa Monieri, but not whicih sure which.
 
you have way too much light for that tank, moss is very slow growing, i had the same problem with my 46bow, i wanted 2 wpg and got hair algeas instead,..lower the light and it should die off..or at least slow down the algea, get cherry shrimp they eat that algea i got 21 amanos and 15 cherries for my 46 and most of the algea is kept in check, but your tank is so small i would use only cherries, cause amano ar a bit large,..
