Freshwater Tank

So as per my first post I was in the process of re-arranging my whole 3 foot freshwater set-up. I decided that instead of Discus I would opt for a planted tank with some crystal red shrimp etc.

I took all the Cichlids in to a local Aquarium store except for the two Pakistani Loaches (I have grown fond of them) and, traded them in for a bag of new substrate a whole bunch of plants (all the plants you can see in the picture) and, about 13 neon's. I haven't introduced the shrimp as yet as I would like to make sure the tank settles as I needed to change a fair bit of water plus remove all the sand I had in the previous tank (i.e. bit worried about the microbial load). In the picture you can see a whole bunch of logs (which originally were one log and, I have broken into 3 pieces) which I aim to tie some Moss around with some fishing line and, get it growing.. I have this vision in my head of a great looking tank and, hopefully I can turn that into a reality. It will also give the shrimp some great hiding places which currently don't really exist. I have been adding both Potassium and another type of fertilizer as from what I understand some of these aquatic plants are quite expensive.

So at the moment I am kinda having a bit of competition between my saltwater and freshwater to see which one I can make look better....
