My previous 2.5 ft planted aquarium

This was my previous planted tank. Been setup about 6 months, and plants are Bolbitis heudolotii, Anubias nana, Java ferns, Java fern 'narrow leaves', hyghrophila polyperma sunset, Brazillian pennyworth, Blyxa ubertii as background plant. Diy co2 been used.

That was my Plecos resting on my Anubias at the right side of the tank.

Bugs in planted aquarium

I got this bug swimming on the surface of the water in my planted aquarium. I'm not sure about the species of this bug at first, but I searched on google as water bugs and came up with the result as Gerridae or Water Strider (Gerris remegis). It seems harmless to the floras and faunas in your tank so I just ignore it. This is some shots of the Gerridae or Water Striders in my tank. You can read more in Wiki about this creatures here: Gerridae

Microsorum pteropus (java fern) & Marsilea hirsuta pearling

Some shots of java ferns and marselia hirsuta pearling.

 When there's enough lights,and percents of co2 in the water, photosynthesis occurred!

Just some update on my nano tank at the moment. Marsilea Hirsuta and Java Ferns doing great! I can say that with co2 injection, Marsilea really taking off!
