Is the end of August, I wasn't spared a lot of time for my aqua plants in August, just top up water & added some liquid fertilizer in alternate day. I am waiting for the hair grass to cover up the whole foreground, and overall I am happy with the so call 'healthy' plants. Still has some green algae on the rocks, but really looks like the natural environment. But the Pelia in my tanks wasn't do good because of the water temperature quite high at 27~28dC, if the Pelia unsuccessful plant in the tank, I will get back the moss to tie on drift wood or hang at the background. For a low tech tank is consider good enough.
My Photography
Off topic post, recently a bit active in photo shooting more than aquascape. The reason why I do that is to understand the nature, like Mr Takashi Amano does. So is a helpful skill to develop our aquascaping and some nature behaviour. The place I am staying has such a limited stone scape, but worth for deep in study of the formation.

Update my tank photo
It has been nearly 3 months I'd never update my tank, and also lack of time to take care of it. Just trimmed off the plants & clean up the tank, even the scape also a bit messy. But 1 thing I like the the grey stone has grew some green algae on it, really natural look. Planned to add on some stone in someday, and the hairgrass has some hair algae grew on it, I am not really scare about that when the whole system well maintain and it will slowly get away. Nowadays only dose ADA Brighty K, Seachem Flourish Excel & Flourish Trace.

Pity Downoi is Alive!
Poor little Downoi (Pogostemon helferi) is alive! I am saving it's life from the old tank, previously had grown up nearly to 20 plants, just a lack of good care cause everything has gone, just found the last small pity plant hiding in a dark corner. And now, it is alive, must take serious good care on it to grow more plants.
