Do I need to add some new plants in the tank (the same ones as before)? Because I feel like I need to add in a few more plants for the tetras to hide in.

If you decide to repot some Ambulia, just be wary of light penetration at the bottom. Since you have the majority of the top covered, light levels won't be as high, and the plant may become leggy. I usually end up trimming Ambuila every couple of weeks so it doesn't become leggy. You could also take some of the Vallisnaria runners and plant them in the sand.

Good point.

Did a top-off and fertilisation today. I went a bit above the blu-tack water line to experiment a higher water level for the tank so the filter won't be as noisy as just below the water line.
