Also this tank is a mixture of RO and my 20 gh 18 kh tap water. I'm using the EI dosing method, so I need to reset the tank every week. Hopefully it'll send out a new leaf in a day or so. I've had the flamingo for about a week and have seen vigorous root growth so that's a good sign. It only stays completely white (like the new leaves in that picture) under bright light and with ample co2. I am curious about why you do frequent water changes if the tank is mostly just plants ? Is it to ensure a known amount of fertilizer and is that necessary ?Īnubis pinto is, as far as I'm aware, the white anubias species. Really like that plant - btw if it gets really happy it will send out a few flowers. The pinto anubia - i have a few of those and they grow really fast - very nice plant - i also have a white anubia and it doesn't grow much - not really worth the money since the pinto i have is putting out mostly white leaves with a few dark green ones. It was added mainly to keep algae at bay when the tank was just set up.īonus pic of the Israeli Freshwater Nerite Pascoe is lusting after □Ĭrypt flamingo is a tough one - i had one once but it didn't do well. My plan is to eventually have the Anubias pinto cover the drift wood, but until it spreads enough I'm using moss too keep algae at bay, I still have some Rotala Hra in the back left over. I perform a weekly 50% water change and every other week I trim the moss. currently maintaining this tank is pretty easy. I am using the EI method to dose this tank. Nympheae minuta (in ideal condition this plant flowers underwater) Pogostemon helferi (green and red variations) Rare (relative to my country) Plant list:Ĭryptocryne flamingo (took me two years to track down this plant and it cost me the equivalent of 30 USD from another hobbiest) The goal for this tank long term is to grow mainly rare plants (at least rare in my country) and have it as low maintenance as possible. I quickly discovered that if I don't trim that tank on a weekly basis it quickly becomes overgrown and loses it's aesthetic appeal. I built this tank myself □Ībove this tank I have a 60 liter high tech tank with lots of stem plants.
