My planted tanks collection.

Here are some of my tanks collection from the day that I started this hobby. After surfing several forums to learn the necessary details and maintaining the quality of aquascaping. Usually when we want to setup a tank, first of all try to read as much as we can from forum sticky on planted tank setup. It's fun when the plants thrive and lush grown, important of water parameter for the tank and whether to be low or high tech tank.

Most of the time, keep track with the fertilization works. Do regular partial water change each week. Lighting are important to the plants as it needs photosynthesis for 6-8hrs. If algae strike is a problem to the tank,
a contributing factor is usually to much light. Then have to reduce the lighting period less than usual and will reduce the algae growth.

Less Algae found in the tank.
Having live plants, that are consuming these plant nutrients, means less nutrients available for undesirable algae, which are also plants but uninvited. So there will be less algae growth in our aquarium, if it contains live plants and correct fertilizer use in the tank.

Less Maintenance for your tank.
Lower nitrates and less algae growth means less time is required to clean the tank. If you have so many plants that the nitrate levels are zero, that does not mean you do not have to do regular partial water changes any more, but you can do less, if you wish. We would recommend that you stay in the habit and continue to do partial water changes anyway.
When we feed our fishes, and they produce waste. The bacteria living on your biological filter take that fish waste and turn it into nitrite and other chemicals. Then another type of bacteria turn the nitrite into nitrate. You do regular partial water changes to remove the nitrate and other chemicals during each week.
