the mini 3.5 gallon

This is our small Amano tank we got from ADA. It's approx. 3.5 gallon. We have a miniature canister filter, we add a little amount of excel fluorish to it everyday for carbon and we're lighting it with 31 Watts of 10 000K light. In this tank we're using the power sand and then a layer of amazonia soil on top. Growing in it is really bright green tiny leaf plant, we think its either "Glossostigma elatinoides" or "Hemianthus callitrichoides" but we're leaning towards the latter, because it seems even more tiny and lighter than the glosso.

We also ordered some star moss from Thailand, it took a serious beating when we had a huge algae bloom in the tank, which was cleaned out after we cut the light back, did a a lot of water changes and put in 4 amano shrimp. The star moss isn't thriving like we've seen in the pictures, where its supposed to get very pointy and bright green.
