New setup in office!

Picture 2 shows the types of plants.

Also can see a macro shot of the pelia!

Only a 9w light, 24'C temp. and no CO2. No fauna yet.

Comments r welcome!

Bro, very hard to comment at this stage. But your camera skills are fantastic! What's your camera's specs?

Hmm.. I must admit I'm very envious of your 24 degrees temperature. Very ideal for the moss to flourish. Given correct water parameters, your moss will GROW!

I took these pictures using my Olympus C5060Z, at AF, Macro and S Macro respectively ... I got the camera at S$800+ and 1 month later the C7070Z came out, selling at S$980 ..... 7 megapixel!

Well anyway, about the tank, I haven't put any fertiliser .... does anyone if it is OK to dose with a bit of KNO3 or MgSO4(not sure right chemical name or not)?

Today is week 2 already, some of the pelia can be seem growing!

You need to get in more plants.

Since you have no CO2...
Dose KNO3 and KH2PO4 weekly, just a pinch of each. If you want things to go faster, add Excel weekly. Don't do water changes when you're running non-CO2. Don't worry about excess ferts building up, if you dose carefully there shouldn't be much excess and once plants grow constantly algae will not bother you.

I have yet to do any water change, but it seems that there is a lot of dust on the water surface .... quite unsightly.

I was thinking of introducing shrimp eventually, at most 1 or 2, cherry or malayan not thinking of CRS.

Will try to start dosing next week. Thanks for all the inputs!
