    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!

    Why don't you put your tubings in the right corner instead of showing it in the left

    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...

    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.
