    Staff, my tanks do not have technology none, nor Co2 injection, nor filtering, only 80% partial time two exchanges per week during two months and later a time per week only, I make a period of bigger ciclagem(cicling?) of four months so that it is well steady, later is alone joy, I also have a planted lake of this crystalline water form........

    Jeffrey (ragn4rok) and others around here have some good examples, using sunlight and sunshade screen. No CO2 addition, no excessive water collumn ferts, constant slow rate WC.

    certainly that it does not have illumination better and more perfect than the light of the sun..... I bought a digital camera that must arrive today, then rank photos of the planted tanks to the sun that I have, therefore these photos are of cellular....

    do you have that green spot algae on the glass? If not what is the secret? is it the fact that no CO2 and ferts dossing?

    Shadow! I use for fertilization one mixture that I make and I place in the fertile layer of the substratum with the following ingredients: vermiculita, laterita, alone substratum, green and flower of one mark here called Terrazas, used for gardens, and more húmus of earthworm. Later I isolate this layer with 10cm of fine sand. In a tank planted and balanced the seaweed well they do not appear and the water is crystalline. Unhappyly my new camera digital that I still bought did not arrive, when to arrive I dispatched by post photos.....

    Wow, just saw this post. The hemianthus micranthemoides is really nice and dense. I am sure your tank is an inspiration to many. How long has it been there to get this thick lush growth?

    Debtor. The Hemianthus is excellent to form beautiful carpets to the sun, in only 6 months is complete. About 20 I have planted to the sun, that gives little work very, and much satisfaction.........
