anyone interested in planted freshwater fishtanks?

Anyone here interested or have planted freshwater fishtanks? I have a heavily planted 10 gallon tank, a 55 that is lightly planted, a new 55 with a few plants, and a betty bowl that will get planted eventually. On my 10 gallon there's about 70 watts of light and I pump co2. The plants grow like crazy. Here's a few pics of the 10.
Yes there is an algae outbreak, but I am fighting it.

I used to put plants in my freshwater tank with discus fish. I had to stop though when I started working full time. Sold everything. I miss it

I have thought about it. I made the betta bowl today.

I love planted tanks. I used to have a planted 55 with piranha in it. The plants became too much work so I took um out.

I love having plants. They definitely make the tank stand out.

Ooo nice! My mom has salt water fish, and she treats them like her kids. Of course she picked dory and nemo -_-

Planted freshwater tanks are so cool in my opinion. Im currently setting up a 100 gal. freshwater tank at my house and Im going to the the store to get my plants this weekend.

Ordered some searches flourish excel. Supposedly it gets fiddling of algae and fertilizers the plants.

Just a pic for reference. Started dosing excel yesterday. Next Thursday I''ll update with a new pic.

Got some new fish the other day and my betty killed 1, so I had to separate it. This is how he lived for a few days.

Since I'm stuck at home because of the hurricane, I took advantage of my time and did this.

My poor 10 gallon looks like a disaster. All my stem plants died while on vacation and they haven't grown back.
