Advice:
Think things through. This is my first planted tank and is a bit of a mess as I rushed into it. Gradually getting there though. Also, if you intend to grow live plants some form of CO2 or carbon additive is a must. Don't even attempt to grow demanding plants without one or both of them as you won't get very far. If you can stretch your budget to pressurised CO2 then do so - although my plants grew well with DIY CO2 I had terrible staghorn algae problems as my lighting was too high for the lower CO2 content that DIY CO2 tends to provide. Switching to the more controlable pressurised CO2 diffusion completely solved this. It is well worth the investment and I would NEVER go back.

About Yourself:
i'm a guy from malaysia basically started fish keeping since earlier 2007. how i started this hobby cause i think keeping fishes are quite relaxing when you watch them swim around, and another factor is that i've kept other pets like dogs, chipmunks, hamsters, birds, tortise, rabbits, so basically havent try fishes yet so this tank is my first tank. Been thru alot of trails and errors just to get it to the looks as it now, which is what i always wanted since i'd start this hobby . to have nice green real planted tank :) will move to bigger tank when i have enough money and space .. wish me luck
Fish Kept:
erm.. Tetras, ramson snails, Red Crytals Shrimp (C), Red Cherry Shrimps, Otos, there are some more, but dont know the names :P
Corals/Plants:
did try out 6-7 types including bottom land plants (dont know what it's name is) sorry i dont really know the names but so far my tank only have moss and the big leaf plant as you can see :) to me is the easiest way to keep a small thank neat and tidy.
Tank Size:
15 gallons
Advice:
keep trying no matter how many "deaths" there were :P but do keep track on your spending budget

This is my planted 15 gallons tank :)
