I restarted my low tech spec v a little over two weeks ago.
MODIFICATIONS
1 Current satellite+ (I really like this light and have it on 3 of my tanks)
SUBSTRATE
river gravel (I know! Everyone hates gravel and things don't grow in it, but I like it)
Osmocote plus underneath gravel
CURRENT PLANTS
Crypts (lutea, balansae, retrospiralis was ordered but looks like more balansae)
Golden anubias nana
Various buces
Flame moss
Trident java fern
Hydrocotyle Japan
Monte Carlo
Salvinia minima (courtesy of awesome RAOK from rwaters - thanks again!) - I don't have pictures of this in tank yet because I just added it
CURRENT INHABITANTS
“Pest” snails - bladder snails and mts (courtesy of awesome RAOK from rwaters - thanks again again!)
I will probably put a pea puffer in this tank in the future. There hasn't been that much growth so far in a couple weeks, but I can see a lot of little monte Carlo leaves right below the gravel ready to come through. The java fern has a lot of baby ferns growing probably as a result of the stress it experienced in shipping and now it's growing leaves suitable for my tank. The hydrocotyle has already gotten quite a bit taller. There is the usual crypt melt and regrowth. I like my rocks, especially the one rock that has a bit of an overhanging hook to it that creates a cave. So far I'm happy enough with this restart, but I'm sure there will be changes.
