I love it! The plants are absolutely beautiful, and I love how many there are!
I am not very good at aquascaping or pick out plants, lol.

Beautiful tank! Do you have to do anything special to maintain those beautiful red plants? Like add iron? Forgive my ignorance, but what is the device in the top left of your tank?

My red plants started to get really red when I started injecting CO2. No supplemental iron dosing. The device is a wavemaker powerhead. I only turn it on for a few minutes before a water change. It helps stir up detritus. Fishes dont like it tho since it blows them all over the place.
