Nice setup, good to know that you're putting in a lot of effort in decorating your tank and that you're also taking care of the Cacs I sold to you.

I dun think it is white algae, more like fungus and it will take a while for them to disappear. :)

I think the fossil rocks are called petrified wood. Looks like wood, shape of wood, but is a rock. Essentially a piece of wood, until the sea floods the whole forest and the trees died and fallen and buried, minerals from sea water enter the wood and eventually took over the shape of the wood and the real wood decayed away long time again. Some of these stuff are considered collector's items, some with rare shapes and unique mineral contents real expensive. Takes millions of years to turn into a petrified wood. But those we bought for aquarium are the cheap common types I think.

Cool rocks. Even nicer driftwoods. Or are they bogwoods?

With Amazon plants your tank will be stunning!!!

Real lucky fishes.
