This "attempt" realy nails it!!! Well done

So now i am convinced that it is possible with low tech, I'll go for it! Still, I am aiming for a well planted tank. Not just wood and some floaters above. So hydrocotyle will be the main lightdimming plant. Any plants you guys can recommend? Java narrow and anubias bouth should do well in...

I am realy starting to like this choco aquarium. Low tech, check! Yellow, low kelvin lights: check Little coloured water due filtering: check Few water changes: check Slow growing less trimming of plants: check I use osmose (dunno if it is the same in english) water. Which i mix with tapwater...

Yea i know that about the gaspedal Thingy :p In belgium, soils are realy new and quite uncommon atm... So yea, i will have to read about them. But the few people who are using them, seem to love it

Lucky me paying in euro's!!!

Still, plants need extra carbon and other nutrients. It can't work entirely without CO2 or carbo, can it?

Everything i learned about plants and scaping has been sunk in a few posts lol!!! Less light, no CO2 controlled pH, etc But that is for very highplanted tanks ofc. I love the chocos and after 15 years in this hobby, its time to give it a try!!! Lol! I will need a dictionary soon i u guys keep...

And i answered my own question by looking at the first post of this thread lol! So what is that thing u filter through to loser pH? :p

What is the hardware running this tank?

So what u mean is i should work with easycarbo unstead? How do you take care of the pH of 6,3 then? I use CO2 to get so low. I just made an automatic dosingsystem so easycarbo is doable. Thanks for all the response this far!!!

Hmm yea i guess i can use some riccia as floating plant. Others are hard to keep at one perticular spot of the surface. Any idea which lightning? 2 lamps around 6k kelvin?

Wow! I will follow this thread as i'm attempting the same. Do u have copyright on it? Or can i use a lot of your setup in my tank? :p

That is something i didn't know indeed!! So if u have the right lamps with a good range of coulors, you can dim them. And the only thing is that they will grow slower. ( which is less maintenance :p) The pH is very important for the fish, so i prefere pH controlled CO2. Problem is: my lamps...

Awesome!!!
