Default Weekly Pictures of Plant Growth in 5G - 10G - 20G and 29G

Hi Everyone I am new to the forum and still kind of new to Fish keeping. I have started keeping fish in January. mrbprint was a savior and sent me some plants that got me on the right track. Now I am starting to get a hang of everything and I am going to start measuring my plant growth. I will be posting pictures of my 5 Gallon Betta Tank, 10G Fry Tank, 20G Community, 29G Main Community.

I put Flourish Comprehensive in on Wednesdays and Sundays. Weekly Water Changes on Wednesdays. I still plan on planting a good carpeting plant and eventually a net of java moss across the back of each tank. Just need time ofc.

Any suggestions are welcome. I am mainly working on the 5G and 20G because the other two are more complete (although none are no where near done). I am also going to be keeping track of plant growth by posting weekly pictures of all the tanks in such details as bellow.
