Been a while since we had a thread like this, so I thought I'd start another, since this is the way I like to share and learn from other people. :smile:
The idea in this thread is to post a picture of your low tech tank(s), explain the setup (equipment, lighting, substrate, ferts, etc) and briefly explain a few things you've learned that do or don't work with your setup.
This is my very low tech almost zero maintenance set up.
260 litres
No water changes just top ups every other day
Fluval 306 on half flow
Occasional bit of ferts if ever see deficiencies in the rip plants.
Dirt substrate with some Ada Amazonia and columbo florabase as a cap
Here's my 55g. Set up with a subcurrent filter (that works about half of the time), and sponge filter, and 2 HO T5 bulbs with individual reflectors built into the hood. I don't usually dose anything, but occasionally use the aquavitro products and no CO2. I think I'm removing the angels today so I can move back towards little fish. I have some hemirhamphodon tengah coming into tomorrow. Sorry for the bad phone pic
Here's my little 10gal. I recently tore it down and then redid it, and I'm so happy I did. Much better then before (you can see the before/after and all the specs in my link in my sig). This is after three (?) weeks.
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
