What maintenance is required of this tank? Looks pretty alright to me
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
Just thought i would post pics of the low-tech...
I converted this from high tech to low-tech since i wouldn't be around to take care of it.. i wanted to make it real simple for my brother to do so.
Anyway.. here is 2.5 months of growth... now i'm just waiting for the moss to grow in the foreground..then its set...
Sorry if picture is a little bright or out of colour... i'm just plain lazy and didn't colour adjust... these pictures are just for a reference view anyway..so not a lot of effort taken to take these shots.. just for viewing i guess... hope you guys like it..
Which do you prefer...of course the only difference is the fish position..just wondering...

Maintenance??? err... almost nothing...
every 9-10 days i top-up then drop in 5 drops of ECA...1 drop of green gain...3.5ml of No3 and 1.5ml of Po4... Thats it.
I feed only 2 times a week... Trim once in 3 months...
so in one month.. only 3 dosing days.. 3 topup days...and 8 feeding days.. nothing else.
25 degrees!! Got a chiller working on this tank? Or is it in an aircon room?
Looks great, wait for the most to cover the mesh, and some spot algae to form on the rocks to give it a natural look!
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
Its chiller enabled...after you have used one.. you can't live without it..haha..
why don't you put crs inside?
Cheers,
Andrew
Why don't you put your tubings in the right corner instead of showing it in the left
it's easier to take out when you want to do photography.

Andrew

Thanks Andrew.. hit the answer for that other question right on the nail.
As for your CRS question... i DO have CRS in there and they are breeding on their own..haha..
The juggling apprentice fish
Dang!... Why can't I just get my tank/plants to look this good...

Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
Because you have 11 of them...and dont change water.
nice, that doesnt look like a low maintenance tank to me. lol.Originally Posted by ranmasatome
Anyway, what chiller are you using?
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
well... it is.. super low maintenence..
Its running a Daeil fish cooler... think these are OEM of Artica...wonderful little things.
You da man....lol.
Daeil? korean brand?
Anyway what are those red mid-ground plants which are slightly to the left?
Hygrophila sp?
Thanks
you mean you guys actually take it out before a photography session? ..........i was always wondering why can't i see amanos tubings
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
Hygrophilia sp. 'Araguia' i think ..
That's why in all the tanks you see in the ADA contest, there are no tubings at all...
All are removed before the photoshoot...
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
All are transparent la..
i saw a similar 1 on Pices labelled as Hygrophila sp.
Can you PM where you got it from.
Thanks
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
got them a very long time ago... i think i have had them for close to a year already... perhaps i think i got them from Bioplast?? If you grow this in a high tech tank.. it grows damn fast..but its a nice creeping plant.. thats why i still keep it.. it works in both kinda tanks.
