Tell us more about your setup, are you using co2, ferts, what's substrate etc?

Im using a 20oz paintball canester for co2 with a dici regulator controlled by a ph monitor. The substrait is ada amazonia, and I use seachem flourish for ferts.

If i may , i would suggest you look into a bigger canister for your CO2, not sure how often you need to refill the 20 oz and cost to refill, with a 10 lb for example , it might very well be only a few bucks more that the 20 oz and last much longer , just food for thought.
Is there a specific reason for only dosing Seachem Flourish? , how much & how often?

charlie youre absolutely right and I'm looking to upgrade the tank, but for now its what I got. As for the ferts, I only dose after I do water changes.

Looks like a good start. I use ADA amazonia too and love it. I'd just suggest increasing the plant mass, the more plants you have the better. Especially fast growing stem plants.

I plan to but I'm moving at the end if April so I'll have to wait till after to add plants
