OK, here is a picture after I did a major overhaul of the tank. I added 3 pieces of driftwood, and moved a lot of plants around. I added Moneywart, and Dwarf Japanese Rush seen in this picture. Last night I also added a Cardinal plant, Dwarf Hairgrass, and Water Sprite. I am hoping the Dwarf Hairgrass and the Four Leaf Clover end up covering the entire substrate.I started to notice algae growing on the glass a few days ago. I did a water test, and sure enough I was very low on Nitrate. My Phosphates were fine, but my Nitrate was almost 0! I am back to adding KNO4 to the tank, which will soon make the algae die off.
