I am, though i don't do planted tanks anymore. At least not for now

Tips? If you are into high light plants, you would need artificially injected CO2.
It's important for CO2 to be diffused properly for the plants to do well. A cheap glass diffuser will do.

And not forgetting Metal halide for planted tank

I'm also using ADA soil to create a nature Eco system inside the tank .

Avoid sunlight shining directly on the tank

Avoid sunlight shining directly on the tank

That's correct. High nutrients level in water column + sunlight = algae. But fishes that are exposed to sunlight will do very well.
