Sprinkle the seeds on Friday evening , this is how it looks today (Monday)
should have put a layer of soil on top.. but forgot and now regretted looks like the roots are moldy..

This looks like hairgrass? some of the roots are about 1cm long and rooted into the soil!

another look of it..

foreground supposed to be glosso

hopefully can fill up soon...

another day update...

foreground looks like growing well...

Background over taking by mold

can see some browning too... feel like topping up with water .....

This is how much they grow within a few days..

don't want to wait liao... just do it!
topped up the tank on Tuesday

topping up

with lights on

just after top up...
no floating of any plants.. which is a good sign..
I think it is because when the seed germinate, there is a layer of gel clinging on to the soil hence there is no floating.

Wednesday-- looks a bit cloudy... hope it will clear up soon..

Did you siphon out the mould or boh chap just add water then change water? I have the same problem last time with semi dry start setup.
