nice cool tank
NIce and natural, let us know once the hairgrass starts growing.
I notice you are using a 75W heater... is that your only mean of keeping a consistent water temperature? Or you do use fans?
Never create what you can't control
Thread starter is from Portugal, where weather can sometimes get cold, so the need for a heater.

Hi,
After 6 weeks that's how my tank looks like...
In a near future the hairgrass and tennellus wiil be removed and crypts parva and pygmae will be planted.
Crypt albida will be planted next week...
Regards,
Joe Faria.
you have good woods to work and you're certainly resourceful and brilliant with the use of the moss. They eases the starkness of the wood. The center one is not covered with moss though, intended focal point?
Hello,
Focal point, not really... the real intention was to provide scape to the shrimps, although there's no predators on this tank.
Regards,
Joe Faria.
WoW!! Nice setup & nice DW you have.
It's so interesting to see setup like this... how many species of Crypto you got at the moment?
Hi,
Not many as I wish... next week will arrive crypt albida var. Red. Next month all non crypts will be removed, and will plant parva, pygmae.
Right now I got:
Cryptocoryne undulata
cryptocoryne x willisii
cryptocoryne moehlmannii
cryptocoryne walkeri
very soon:
cryptocoryne albida var. Red
cryptocoryne parva
cryptocoryne pygmae
Regards,
Joe Faria.
Oh dear... that's a lot of plants to remove
Hi,
I thought twice again, and I will keep this tank how it looks like...
Good news, I will set up another tank just for crypts.
Regards,
Joe Faria.
Looking good joe. Keep it up.
Hi,
Nearly 2 months of being set up... no algae issues so far, and last week I added a really beautiful plant... crypt albida.
Here's the pic, after a good trim in a few crypts and moss...
Regards,
Joe Faria.
Looking good as always, I see you havent removed the HG yet, the right side of the tank seems heavy populated.
Hi,
Small update, after a small trim this how the tank looks like...
Fish and shrimps at feeding time
parotocinclus jumbo LDA25
otocinclus affinis
Neocaridina denticulata sinensis or Red Cherry Shrimp
Regards,
Joe Faria
