alright, here's my first ever planted tank. pls pardon the poor quality pics as taken via my lousy hp, pardon me as i do not know the names of the plants and lastly, ignore the feeder goldfish and koi. they are meant for cycling. hope u enjoy the pics.

BTW MossBall is complimentary by the LFS.

tank: 5plan 1.5ftx1ftx1ft tank
light: dymax 18w lightset
CO2: nil
filter: boyu ef-05 canister

nice setup bro. i think your plants on the left r going to make u busy with trimming down the road as they r fast growing type. anyway, its a nice setup, i like it.

maybe you can get some wood to make the tank scaping more neutral.

Wow, nice start you have for a planted tank...i agree tha the plants on the left will keep you busy as they are really fast growers...also, if i am not wrong i believe you did not add any base fert to your substrate...in that case, the tiger lily plant you have next to your moss ball may not thrive well..you may want to consider inserting some root tablets for it=)

omg the plants on the left totally all died off mayb due to too strong light. there's no base fert but my tiger lotus is growing so well that i got alot of new shoots but apparently it's all turning green.. no longer red.. wonder y
