Its been a while since I've put up a photo, so here is some eyecandy.
Current stock list:
24 clown loaches 6-12cm
10 dwarf chain loaches
~30 glow light danios
20 harlequin rasboras
6 Otocinclus cats
5 L333's
4 siamese algae eaters
2 pair of german blue rams
The plan is to add another 8 clown loaches and replace the danios with harlequins as needed.
My plants are doing horribly at the moment. Slowly dieing off after a few weeks of good growth. Ive just added a bucket load of java moss to brighten the tank up while I trouble shoot the cause.
Current known tank parameters:
pH: 7.65
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5-10ppm
GH: 12
KH: 8

Nice hardscape, not at all sure about that java moss. Loaches are so much fun to watch, I'd love a tank of them.
What's the tank size?

4 x Solartubes.
These are on the roof
This is looking up the tube. Shiny
And here is the bits before it was put together.
I get about 5 hours of direct sunlight in summer, and a few of indirect sunlight on either side. Plus moonlighting and lightning strikes
In winter this drops a bit to maybe 3.5 hours of direct sunlight.
There is also 4 x little LED fittings, just enough to light it for night viewing.

Me either, but looks better than a barren tank I only planted it last night so looks a bit rough.

Maybe your not getting enought lighting to the plants?
4 hours a day isn't much
Nice tank though would be funny seeing 20 clownies sleeping on there side in a row, funny enough with my 5
