Just beautiful and my dream tank.
Love the java moss and the watersprite which grow crazy in your tank.
Sorry if this question is a repost.
What fertilisers do you use?
and do you use any co2?
Thanks

thanks for the compliments everyone, i appreaciate it a lot. i love the co2 fert questions because of the shocked reaction i get when i say ... i dont use anything. i have 8x30 watt bulbs and lots of fish. i have reduced my water changes to once every 2 weeks though it is still 50%. i will be posting new pics today once the lights in the tank go on.

i got 2 3" cories here... any help identifying them is appreciated. here is my tank. time to cut down the hygro, and the crypts are doing great.

Heh, your willow leaf hygro looks like mine, except I have mine in the middle background of my tank. I'm thinking of moving it to a corner.

Anyways, still looking good.

Still can't believe there's no CO2 injection... this tank is the perfect low-tech storm.

update time. just added another 25 pounds of gravel since i always didnt have enough. i got some new plants and trimmed a lot. let me know what you all think. the water is a bit cloudy from stirring up the gravel but should be better by morning.
