Nice tank.

I found another new open spathe this morning--Cryptocoryne cordata

I was happy to see it. This is a hardy plant and an easy bloomer

Very nice, one day one I have room for my next tank this would be something interesting to try. What % do you keep the humidity in the tank?

 

[hydrophyte]

thanks very much. because it contains crypts, Anubias and ferns i keep the humidity rather high in this tank: it's probably at >90% most of the time. this is accomplished very easily, by maintaining it almost completely covered with its glass canopy.

last night i made some time to installe the shelf under this tank. now i have some space for the canister filter and other equipment. i think that it will look nice when i get the whole thing all set up.
