so,  yeah i set up my 'dirted' tank about three months ago as a beginner to the planted tank world. I had kept plants in the past but they were definitely a second thought after the fauna. 

Now i'm left with this tank that I set up when i was just starting out and made all the mistakes in, with no room for a bad case of multiple tankitis. don't get me wrong there are things i like, but yeah, the sword is way too big, the mixture of sag and vals look messy, the anubias nana looks like it's just been thrown in et cetera et cetera. Oh and don't get me started on my substrate choice and duckweed!

I guess my question is what tanks do you have kicking around that you made all your mistakes in and what are the mistakes you made? pictures would be fun to be added

I'll get the ball rolling

1) light coloured substrate

2) flat subtrate

3) hug amazon sword in a tiny tank

4) mixture of sag and vals

i'll leave it there for now me thinks
