Hi, I am new to planted aqariums, and new to freshwater in general! As I started browsing this forums, I became obsessed with planted aquariums and decided to make one myself. So here goes nothing, Its been around 2 weeks since this tank has been setup.

Tank:
48 inch x 18 inch x 18 inch
with cabinet

Plants:
Lace fern
Amazon swords
Different kind of anubias on the golden vine
Fontinalis (Willow moss) on the golden vine

Fish:
10 Cardinal tetras
10 Rasboras

Filter:
Eheim 2215 with media

Light:
1 x 10k (54w) - ch brand
1 x Aqua Medic Aqualine t5 plant grow (54w)

Heater:
250w Eheim jager

Other:

Very Large Golden Vine with 4 types of anubias + fontinalis and lace fern

Pictures:

Day 1 - Filling in water and starting off



1-2 Weeks Later:

The whole tank



Fontinalis on Golden Vine



Anubias nana on Golden Vine



Another 2 types of anubias on Golden Vine



Thats all for now
Please tell me if there is anything else I can do to make it look better
Or if I am doing anything wrong, as I am just a newbie and this is my first freshwater tank!

Also the yellow stones / rocks are just kept to hold the golden vine down, as it hasnt sunk yet, hopefully it will sink soon! It would look much better without it
