I'm not the one who's selling them , you can find that package online or in pet stores

 

[C-Cat]

Looks good. I like the stones you've selected, and it is a good fit for that table.

UPDATE 1st week (9/3/2016)

Just started dosing ADA Brighty K + ADA Step 1

i added a mini heater and its on 26c (78F)
There is some algae started its look like Staghorn Algae im not sure yet they are pretty small , its like brown hair on plants

My JBL Eco 80 CO2 (its like DIY systems) still not getting me to level that i need from CO2

Any recommendation for a nano CO2 system ?
Do i need to start dosing Flourish Excel ?

I feel your pain, this stage of starting up a new tank can be disheartening but it's not uncommon. Things will turn around once you get the balance right.

I think 3.5 hours photoperiod is not enough, try 6 hours, but most importantly you need to sort out your CO2 ASAP. The Do! Aqua Music Glass diffuser is made to be used with pressurised CO2 systems, I'm not sure how well it would work with that JBL Bio setup. Maybe try a disposable cartridge style CO2 system.

You need some shrimp to clear out that hair algae. I've not had any issues with green hair algae since I started keeping Caradina NT nilotica (Darwin Algae Shrimp) in my tanks. They are similar to Amano shrimp.

Thank you for your replay

im getting pressured CO2 System soon, and regarding the shrimp im worried to add any at 2nd week in cycling thats why the tank is empty.

Hello everyone this is latest update after dosing co2 and flourish excel, got rid of hair algae and the plants growing like crazy, keep trimming almost every 10 days.

 

[bereninga]

Awesome! Glad to hear you've won the algae battle! Tank is looking good!

 

[SwissCheeseHead]

Nice job turning it around! Keep us updated!

 

[loach guy]

That's awesome you turned the corner! Great looking little tank! My shrimp are going to be jealous of yours.

Hello everyone,
I was on vacation for 4 days outside my country , look what happened in only 4 days, check the growth.

pressured co2 is magic, if u don't have it i guess you are missing alot of things.

algae gone, more green

enjoy watching

Hello everyone
just trimmed the aquarium today

Before and After photo

 

[fasoole]

Hey all
just added 4 chili rasbora to the tank after 2 months, they used to be 5 but i think the pet shop misses one so i got 4, they are doing great but one of them is dominating the tank so badly!!!

The tank Is looking beautifu!

Which pressurized co2 system did you get?

 

[10kredline]

You need to use some fertilization. Mine happened the same thing when I first started a planted tank. My plants were dying in my nano and once I started using fertz, everything came back to life.

Bump: oops, nevermind. I didn't see your setup.

Im using Dennerle pressured co2, it's for bigger tanks up to 200 liter.
