The outdoor 6ft native tank, plants are growing quite well considering it is running low light

Update:
 
Algae outbreak! lol. I go out today and yep, we got a lovely green starting to appear, only on the sand areas though. Gotta love the settle in period.....not! Oh and we also have diatoms just to top it off lol
 
This tank gets more ambient light than i thought it would, so for now the actual tank lights ill be staying off (unless i need a photo lol)
 
On the plus side, the stems are growing like weeds, so will be doing a bit of a stem shuffle today (bigger to the back, new smaller to the front)

Very nicely done! How many fish do you intend to eventually stock, or are you about done?

Thank you. More fish will be added once i manage to get my hands on some I added a heap (and i do mean a heap lol) of native shrimp last night, hoping they will clean up some of the algae and keep the sand turned over and clean.

Finally hooked up the overhead sump......only to find the pump i have is WAY to powerful, it needed to be restricted too much to be any good for the pump itself....so it will be put away for another project, and i will hopefully be able to buy a smaller one. I wanna get this sump running, the poor canister is doing its best but it was always meant to run in conjunction with the sump not on its own. I will have to give the canister a clean tomorrow also, i notice its flow has slowed a bit
