I am not so keen to invest in a DC fan as my adge of my tank is full of stuffs:a hang-on filter and 2 clip on FL lights.... So, my edge at the bank is kind of fully occupied...
Will try to master the riccia first, before switch to other expert type....hopefully.

Get rid of that background wallpaper! It'll look tonnes better. You're pretty good at tying stuff to rocks. You should try mini-riccia, looks very nice on rocks in smaller tanks.
Glossos.. hard in any setup not ADA-ed. Primarily substrate and lighting. My glossoes in my previous tank grew fine in holland sand but it didn't spread quite as fast even with co2. On ADA soil, it spread out much quicker even without co2. I think it's the porosity of the substrate that's helping them root. They need to be in good shape and growing or algae will take over. The moment they get stunted.... algae will come. Glosso is like a weed it shows it's healthy by growing.. trouble with non co2 with glosso, they need a lot of light but if you provide too much light, you'll get algae problems. Have to balance..
