Update.

Had a severe cloudiness problem. The culprit was settled dirt on the driftwood. Rinsed the driftwood and problem solved.

New plants added. Now I have Vall Gig., Ludwiga, Hornwort, Frogbit, Baby's Tears, and Java Moss. In addition 1 piece of driftwood and 2 ornamental items to be used for hiding.

I added some blackworms to the substrate. When I turn on the current they bury themselves, when I turn it off the stick out. Kind of cool to watch. Pic attached below.

Changed the current flow from 2100gph to 1600gph. The 2100 was causing too much stirring of the soil and was probably overkill for the tank size.

Water lightly clouded. Should clear when bacteria gets flourishing.

Some pics.
