Hey everyone, last night I went to AFA and boy, I was amazed.Their tanks there are so nice, I wanted one myself. So I bought a Do!aqua mini-m (which I didn't expect at all), some glosso, some blyxa japonica, and some rocks(man, that costed me an arm and a leg, but I thought it was well worth it). I've been waiting for yesterday for a long time.

Tank
Do!aqua Mini-m (same size as ADA Mini-m but almost twice as cheap)

Lighting
23 watt Spiral Compact Fluorescent

Substrate
Aquasoil Amazonia

Filter
Aquaclear 20

CO2
DIY, and might dose excel (Will change to pressurized in December(Bday gift from parents))

Fertilizers
Gonna start EI dosing soon

Flora
Glossotigma elatinoides
Blyxa Japonica(gonna get 5 more)
Eleocharis sp. Belem (little patch towards the back)
Cryptocoryne Beckettii (Might just emerse it)
Cryptocoryne Hudoroi (Same as Beckettii)
Some type of background plant (any suggestions?)

Fauna
I am not so sure yet, I might do shrimp or something. But wouldn't the shrimp jump out?
Any other suggestions???

Right now, the water is still cloudy even though i set it up last night. What should I do?

Thanks for looking!

Here are the pictures

But the bad thing is, my dog dropped the camera, and the camera's lense is broken(bummer). The picture that's taken is half blurry and half clear. So for a while, my pics are going to be half sucky... Which is really lame... Hopefully my parents could get some cheap camera soon. But w/e the economy is crappy, I could live with half crappy pics...
