Foreground plants in this setup are: HC, Elatine tiendra, Staurogyne porto vehlo, Hair grass etc.

All of the woods used in this setup are dry. They did tied woods with rocks. So I think woods will be float if filled full aquarium now. So I have advised him to fill atleast half inch water daily.

Heat is the crucial in his setup due to the structure of the hood. One more problem will be arise in winter when he install heater in the aquarium. So I advised him to put some wooden blocks under front side of hood so that air can be pass.

Most of the stem plants melted from root and tip both parts. So we cut the those parts. Water level is upto the tips of plants.

That hood already has such two holes, but do you think for 6ftr two 6inch(may be 9inch) fans are enough, and that too closed hood and 8T5s, and HC as FG.

Also Rajivji, this will make the wood dry again from the top parts, those are above the water.
