Wow! beautiful tank Dusko! I don't know how you do it! hehehe. I've tried those hygrophilas, even in my high light tank and they lose all the lower leaves and don't grow. Only H.difformis do well in there.

Additionally I see you only have 36 watts of light! I have that in a 22 gallon aquarium, which has a substrate of clay...and I can

Once again, very attractive and very complete as is!
Love the Vietnamese minnows!

What kind of sand is that?

The sand is from sweden called radasand not sure whats it made of but is for aquarium use. It is 0.4mm-0.8mm.

This is a fantastic example of simple beauty. You've created a scene I could sit and watch for hours, I'm a jealous man Dusko .

I see you have no heater in the tank, and you live in Sweden? Surely then you must rely heavily on your central heating?

Thanks mate
I lived in Dublin for approx 5 years and the apartments were always cold in the winter (very likely similar to england). Here in Sweden the heating is included in the monthly rent and it is roasting so much I have to open the balcony door to cool down a bit. Still I do have a heater in my 180 litres set on 22'C just in case the room temp goes under it.

Ah OK, sounds like a sweet deal you got yourself there. It must be nice to have one less wire to hide
