Time to get a diary up exclusively about my 10in cube :) I have a photo journal in the faraway lands of TFK about all my setups, *But* i thought it would be nice to be more specific.

Specs:
Low tech high light, 10in low iron glass cube.

Tank: Aquapro 25cm high clarity low iron glass cube tank.

Light: 20w LED ceiling panel from ebay
Fauna: Over stocked, all inhabitants temporary.

Substrate: Flourite black sand

Filter: Hagen elite mini

Plants:
Major plnts
Xmas moss
Peacock moss
Fissidens
Marsilea minuta
Marsilea quadrifolia
Ludwigia arcuata
Persicaria kawagoeanum

Cryptocoryne petchii
Herminathus callitrichoides

Minor plants- Unintended plants
Macranthemum umbrosum var. 'monte carlo sp3'
Susswassertang
Salvinia
Riccia
Staurogyne repens

Fauna: Overstocked, but all very much temporary.

Progress thus far...
Pardon me while I go dig up some old photos :p

The tank is an impulse buy in April 2013. i didn't quite get around to it until October. For the longest time, it looked like this...




10/04/2013-Starting up




10/13/2013-Fabulously beautiful algae






10/14/2013- one of my favorite algae pics




10/15/2012- Tank is establishing... algae dying :(




10/19/2013- Some crazy growing persicaria...





11/03/2013-Some nice growth in the moss






10/04/2013- A pic of some of the first inhabitants





10/05/2013 -Didn't like the riccia much, shoved it all in the back...


+a top view...


+a trim :O


10/14/2013- rocks added!


+close up of transitioning arcuata from emersed to submersed

Thanks :)
I haven't had time for this tank, It's been running by itself... I didn't add a filter back in until last weekend :) The moss was so overgrown that the belem carpet grew an extra half in because it was so thirsty for light.

I've never really been away ;) always lurking >.>
