Alternative base fertilizer - worm castings

[cks]

cks,

I think brad is asking if this is an aquarium set up or not.

It looks almost like a vivarium!! I assume it's the planted 4 footer aquarium at home right?

Cheers,

Brad,
Sorry for the misleading answer .

Benny,
Yes the same one at home.
Got tired of changing water every week and throwing away all the stem plants that grew out of the tank. Time for a change.
No it's not a vivarium cos I don't intend to keep any frogs or other animals in the tank. Can it be called a paludarium ?

I do not have any plan shots however this a summary of the set up :
the emersed portion of the tank was mixed with sphagmum moss / aquatic compost and worm castings..................When the set up is more mature, I will post more shots of the general setup.

CKS,

Thanks for sharing. Looks like the set up is mostly emersed now.
How long has the set up been running for?
Any success with the crypts flowering yet?
What species are you growing and which seem to be growing best emersed?

Sorry.. lots of questions. I'm a newbie to emersed growth.
