no i didnt get the plants from the wild although there are many indian native plants in my tank like hygrophila pinatifida,crypt retrospyralis etc

for substrate i picked up a sack of laterite that was dumped for building highway outside my home capped it up with normal construction sand also collected in the sameway...so basically i didnt sepnd any money on substrate....
tank size is 48X18X18 inches made by me
filtration is through an internal powerfilter and a powerhead for water movement
i do EI dosing with labgrade chemicals
i did this tank in a very low budget only expense was pressuized co2

I must say that you are very talented my friend..Can you please specifyy your labgrade chemicals.and how often do you dose them?Have you tried any emergent plants like pothos?I think that if you could put up more light your plants will take off very strongly.
