Designing cryptocoryne tank

[Enda]

Hi everyone, I need some help on a planted tank mainly for housing crypts. Low light tank (1.5'), hang on back filter. The crypts will be planted both completely submerged and semi-emersed. Species I have are C. wendetii, C. crispatula and C. x willisii. Fishes will be some rasboras and small loaches.

Should I use base fert, apart from liquid ferts? Should I have more CO2? How about speed of water flow?

Any other suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

from my experience, crypts are easy plants, some require high light while some require medium light.....most crypts are easy n beautiful in terms of coloration....medium flow rate will be good.....a bit of base fert will be fine and co2 could be used for better growth....

just my 2 cents...hope to see your crypt tank soon

try using clay as base or a good base fert. Other then that, stuff roots tabs.
