    it has been 8 days since I set up my aquarium ... And was wondering if I could still add some more plants or should I still wait a bit until they grow ? ... I'm planning to place some discus Asa the cycling is done ... is this a good start for my future aquascaping ... Any ideas or comments are more than welcome !! Thanks

    looks very nice! from my past exp i would say you have plenty (try and imagine your tank when the plants will have grown). do you have a source of C02? that will greatly increase plant growth.

    Hey there ! Thanks .. Still would love to add lots off grass around the tree .. Would you know what kind would be the best to have a full carpet ?

    There's a guy John (2in10) who could give some good advise as well. He's had planted tanks for years.

    Looks nice!
