Well, here is my tank after I redone both my tanks last night, i'm soon going to create a DIY system, and install it when I move my lights in my other tank to this one.
I don't have any maintenance routines, apart from a gravel vac and water change once a week. I add no ferts or anything.

Sorry for some of the watermarks and I also have ?BGA? on the glass, but it doesn't bother me that much, so I just leave it.
Any advice/criticism/opinions appreciated.

PS - Most of the fish in this tank will be rehomed once I find buyers!

The pics a bit fuzzy but from what i can see the algae on the glass is green spot algae. It's slow growing not really problematic just need a good scrapper to get it off. :)
 
Yup, it does come off if I give it a good enough scrub, but tbh it isn't worth the hassle. But i'll get round to it one day, but the plants will cure it somewhat effectively. By the way, the camera is good, it's my skills that need brushing up.
