So just to be sure of this method:

1) Can I use HC or better stick to low-tech grass, like Marsilea Minuta?
2) Can this method be used with 1 inch of natural substrate (humus, peat, etc) and 2 inches of Eco-Complete on top?
3) Can I plant additional plants in the dry era, such as crypts, anubias, java fern (mainly low-tech suited plants)?

Ragards,

Excel and Hc work well together.
Mineralized Soil or ADA AS might work better
Yes,
