I see lots of posts from other aquarium keepers that don't have many people in real life to appreciate their work like me. So here's a video of the result of a year and a half of plant collecting and progress to the share with like-minded peeps.

Details:
regular old TopFin rimmed 10g kit with 1 betta, dozens of shrimp, snails (nerite/pond/bladder/assassin), lots of tiny critters, too many plants to list. Heater 79*, HOB filter stuffed with various media/foam intake cover rarely cleaned, light period is 9 hour/day total (4 on/5 off/5 on) with a Hygger HG957 (one size up/oversized), Fluval Bio Co2 which is not run very saturated and turned off at night, currently fertilizing about every other day with 24-hour aquarist APT3, substrate is a mixture of sand, gravel and pockets of Fluval stratum, I use homemade root tabs. 20%-25% weekly water changes/ top off water is adjusted to manage parameters, bottom cleaning is fairly minimal, done with a turkey baster. Floaters have to be thinned out about weekly, other trimming is done about once a month, a couple of plants have to be pruned frequently though.
