Iv got some crypts, jungle val, wisteria, anubia nana, and a few plants iv collected in the wild. For lights im running 2 26W cfls on a DIY fixture raised up about 3 in. from the surface.
Fauna are various wild caught shrimp, mollys, plattys, and swords, iv also got 2 elgea eaters and a rubber nose pleco
Gravel and sand capped with Eco-complete, Iv been running the hang off filter that the tank and with. Iv never tested the water but I run water changes 1 time a week about 25%. I'm dosing leaf zone from API and the API c02 booster. I'm running an 8 hour photo period. I made a DIY c02 today so we will see how that goes... I'd love to get some cherry shrimp but I don't know much about them
i got them at home depot for a dart frog set up i had years ago and i found them in the yard so i washed them and put them in. the shrimp enjoy the cover and they have been breeding in it
Lighting has stayed the same, and I added a DIY Co2. Im still having a little algae on the plants but i figured a little is inevitable. Water Temp is 72-74 Enjoy
So you capped your sand with Eco complete? I was thinking of doing the same thing but I'm a rookie and I wasn't sure if that was a good idea to have sand under Eco complete.
WOW those cript are really nice. i like the brown colors it has
