Rocks are small, combine them all closer or use larger ones.

That looks like a great start! You do need bigger stones, but maybe you should just go ahead and plant it. For your version 2.0 maybe you can get more hardscape with bigger rocks.

I got the lights at Ikea for 10 dollars each, I'm trying to grow some HC Cuba carpet and maybe DHG too. I filled the tank with water already so I'll snap some shots of the rocks again. It's not that small, in my opinion, you get a sense of a larger of scape with smaller rocks. Besides, any bigger and I'm scared my clumsy hands made tip it over.
I left the Co2 running at around 3 - 4 bps near the output, some of the HC is pearling but at a slow pace. I got a mix of top grown and submerged HC, going to test which gives me a better result if Co2 is not limiting.

Couldn't help it, the asian side of me had to throw some neon lights in the stand.

Plant selection is almost non existence right now so I'm waiting to pick up some better plants when they come in. Going to grab some clear out/in pipes too.

Took a chance on the Aquatic Life T5HO 2X24W, I must say, totally disappointed. Great box, terrible build quality.

Everything was great at the start, you take them out, then you turn on the light and... hmmm not so great.
Like... this....

But hold on a second FHF, it's the inside that counts right? Well, that depends, you got 6500K and a red tube that gives you this -

No thanks. It looks really red and yeah I dig the colour red but not this much. Returned with no hassle, so big up to BigAl's. May he enjoy many more years of eating whatever makes him big.
But for now... it's IKEA lights until I find some good fixtures. All pics are done with my iPhone 4, I'm poor, I don't have a camera.

Devilish of a plant this thing is. It's growing in purple and I think it might be some kind of algae or maybe I'm going colour blind.

Getting a Finnex Ray 2 , price was just too good to past up. But, I think these CFL cheap lights output a ton of light. You can raise it up, down, point it to parts of the tank. I'll do a comparison when I get the Finnex but man, these things are pretty bright.

The iPhone 4 has a weird way of reducing ambient lighting, way brighter in real life.

Its been 4 months since my 60-P has water in it and I still do WC every 3rd day. Dont let your tank sit with less plants. Algae can find its way.
The best practice is to enter with as many plants as you can.
Lets us know how did you find the new seachem line.
