Tell us a bit about your set-up and water parameters...
Ok.
Here it gows:
*The tank is a 80x40x40 panorama tank from Juwel approx. 35 gallon.
*Filtration is done by a Eheim 2013 intake is in the right back corner, out is left back corner.
*The lightning is 2 x 18 w. grow-lux (kinda purple light) with reflectors from 10:30 till 22:30.
*Heating is done by a 75 watt. heater in the right back corner.
*Bottom consist of 2 cm Sera floredepot for good grow of Crypto's. Then topped of by approx. 2 cm of sand. (more towards the back)
*Decoration is 4 large pieces of driftwood.
*Plants used are:
-Cryptocoryne becketti in the front.
-Microsorium pteropus on the wood.
-Echinodorus horizontalis in the back behind the wood.
-Vesicularia dubyana moss on the background. (attached with small needles)
-Elodea canadensis in the left corner.
-Cabomba carolina in the right corner.
*The water parameters I really don't know. Don't check all that often. If all looks well I don't check in a long time. Tap water is Ph 7; Kh around 5, Dh around 5 (I think).
*Water change is 33% per week.
Hope this helps,
Loubard

Thank you. Nice setup! What a great choice of substrate/fertilizer. I loved Sera when I lived in Germany. They are only now exploring the US market, and their distribution has not reached Kansas, yet. I can't wait. They have extremely high quality products!
