Hi welcome here,

1st this filter is not suitable for planted tank. with the water flow in with air, it blow ur CO2 away. those brown n white ring in ur filter is all filter media, and bio-ring. it help you to keep the good/benefit bacterial in ur tank cycle.

how big is ur tank. if its a small tank less than 2 ft, its better u get a hang on back(HOB) filter.

is there any cover for ur tank. u hv to take out all the cover.. cover will be too hot for plants. they need temp below 28oC.

the filter u hv to change for sure.

it is better u run ur cycle for 2 weeks then u start to plant, then check for ur ph.. till it stable around 6.x then u can add fish. don't rush.

got photo for ur whole tank? what substract u using?

diamond in my round pot

lol the hair grass pearl cos i cut it.. injurt pearl LOL..

2 liter
9W PLL
Africana Soil
1 stone
Japanese Hair Grass
CO2 - not so sure how many PBS, as long as there is bubble come out..very very litter..
no filter, WC 1 tou fu fa container daily
bringty k 1 drop daily
fert 1 drop per week

hehehhe the thing is not the bright K its the light n the office air con LOL.. n WC.

come come.. photo of the day

cute wor!!! must update photos! hehhehe

yes its can be a planted tank, but a small tank is always more challanging

try not to put alot of wood in. the ph will swing like crazy.

no, only boraras can go with shrimp.. others are too big.

soil( what soil u going to use), stone( make sure use the right stone, no coral! wood in. filter up, water in. just leave it like that for 2-3 weeks.. if water is crowded , do water change..

then only plants in, till u see plants are healthy...

... then only fish in.. then snail in.. then shrimp in...

ok if u using ADA soil, when the soil is new, it will pull the Ph down.. and its full with No, run ur filter and do WC, get a ph tester. just run with empty tank the cycling will start with that. and benefit bac will grow.

its the same, we only move in the house that had finished build we don't stay in a house with no root hehe..

rocal is a big NONO in planted tank , unless the ph is too low and u need to raise it up.

ph should be around 6.X

WC = Water change

its hair algea, just manualy remove them. do more often Water change to get away extra No2, 3. what is the spec of ur co2 and light?

ADA soil will never run away from algea

they wouldn't bully ur shrimp for sure.. they will just KOOMM eaten hahhaa

when u start ur tank, which is empty. u can even do a 100% WC, if u r using amazon I, then u will need to do alot WC to clear the water. water u hv plants, do a 30% WC, 2 times a week. this is what i do

what is the size of ur tank? try get hold on 2X 9WPLL if u r a 1ft cude. if bigger than 1 X 1 x 1, the light is not enough. hmm table co2 ah.. i would prefer DIY Co2. lower risk

are u refering to yamato? that is difference they don't produce in fresh water i though he refer to crs or cherry shrimps
surface skimmer, use moli is the best
