Week 3

45F

• I had three guppies but unfortunately one of them jumped out the tank so I will choose different species but I'm not sure yet. I'll have a look once I go to the LFS again.
• I have removed Persicaria sp "Pak Chong" from the tank. The right side of tank designed for emersed growth and Persicaria was kind of a weed which might suppress other plants. That's why I removed it from the tank. I also removed couple of Pogostemon Erectus stems and added Rotala Rasmoir Sunset. It seems in 2-3 weeks later I will remove all the plants that on the right side and replant them.
• I also removed a rock from the tank because it was preventing filter placement.

45P & 25C

It's been almost 3 days since setup, so there is no update. I'm just sharing the pics that I took today.
