BFM, I had a hunch. Wanna be a mermaid in my 4300? You can swim with the BIG fishes then.

nah, NLS just doesn't taste good enough for me to live in a tank full time. :p:
 
OMG! I LOVE that carpet. That is something I just have to try in the future. BEAUTIFUL!!!

[FONT=&quot]I started with about 2 pots of HC, 3 pots of Micro and a few sprigs of Riccia that I found randomly in a few tanks at work. Planted and let it sit for about 2-3 months with occasional misting from a spray bottle, keeping the water level at just below the substrate level. After that it was entirely carpeted so I just filled the tank up. No uprooting or die off. Now it's just plugging along.

Since I do not add CO2 to the tank the trimming is minimal in all honesty. I’ve done a minor trim once since I set it up. Is really is a low maintenance tank surprisingly.[/FONT]

That is a really interesting technique. I'm going to be doing another tank in the spring and I might try that. I had no idea you could run a tank "dry". Thanks for sharing that tip with us!
 
It's a good way if you have time and don't care about waiting for results. Not to say that the tank was void of life, there were a few silverfish and a colony of spiders that were hidden amongst the rocks, they were living a happy humid life till the floods came.
