    Nice work! remember that in a 10 gallon its much easier to grow algae, so dont be disheartened if you get outbreaks, its very hard to balance the light correctly

    Nice looking setup so far.You'll be trimming those plants in no time with the use of Sera Floradepot.Quite a usefull soil and just about anything with roots will explode in growth.Lasts a while too so wont be adding any more.Used it in one of my planted setups and had positive results.Thanks for sharing !
