My very Basic Planted Nano

So I got my nano (25L) in April 2013. I like to think I have had some success with it. The only problem to date (knock on wood) is that blue/black algae and I got rid of it by throwing most of the affected moss away.
So a little about the tank, it's a 25L nano with LED's, please do not ask for information about the LED's as I do not know any information on them, they came with the tank.

I wanted to got for the bonsai look and I think it's coming on nicely.
My tank inmates are as follows:
1x red mail betta - the boss of the tank
4x neon tetras
Yes, some may consider the tank over stocked but the fish appear to be happy and healthy.

This is what the tank looked like in April


And this is where I am now

(I do not know why it's upside down)

Future plans
a) get a smaller heater, the 25w I have couldn't keep the water warm enough in winter, I think a 50w should do it
b) got some "ground cover" type plant - like Glossostigma elatinoides

So what you all think?

 

looks quite nice for a small tank, you should try star grass and eel grass too

 

@ThaneF

It's really coming along well. +1 for the star grass suggestion. Think it would be a stunning addition. You will just have to confirm with the guys if your lights will be sufficient. I know glosso also need a lot of light.

I've use 25 watts in my 15 liters and 50 watts in my 30 liter so the 50w should be perfect.

My tanks are all overstocked but I do water changes every second day and all is well.

Keep us posted, would be nice to see how it progresses.

 

@Dinky @dhameer stargrass grows @ a rapid rate and will outgrow the tank very quickly, ive learned this from my cube. Hairgrass will be a better option IMO.
Also try turning your dragon rock verticaly to a angle istead of lying it flat, it will give some height in the tank

 

Looking good @ThaneF. If you're going for that bonsai look, can i make a suggestion that your rocks be protruding around the tree, but that they arent visually bigger than the tree so that it stays the main focus of your tank.

Something like this:

 

@ryanj252 that is exactly what I am trying to achieve, didn't think about smaller rocks, now to find then

I like the hairgrass look, is it fairly common at the lfs or will I have to hunt for it?

 

I wouldnt know. Where are you based? Im sure asking around will help
