Thanks Darrel, very useful info... I will research a bit about this. Cheers! Javier.

Hi, new pics! Ludwigia peploides Cheers! Javier

Hi, I got some plants from a friend, both of us are completely lost on the IDs... excuses for my lousy pics, need to get a good camera :? Some echinodorus, probably native Hygrophilla ? Potamogeton illinoensis ? Completely unknown plant, probably native. Grows almost horizontally...

Interesting topic... let me post this cool video where we can see almost all tanks from de Nigata gallery... Some of them show some flow, some doesn´t even seem to have flow... Co2 diffuser pumping co2 straight up... no atomizers, reactor or whatsoever...

Thanks Clive!

Hi all, why we always talk about weekly water change? can we make 2 o 3 water changes a week? If so, how we fit them in the EI dosing? Are they supposed to be done in the KNO3 days? Cheers!

Shame on me, I am wrong again ... tank size is 150x50x40 hight being 50cm. Cheers!

Well, I have to correct myself since there is only a pair of scalare! are you refering to the hight of the tank? cheers!

Hi again, it´s been some time since last post. I started this long desired low tech after moving to my new house, hope you mates like it and looking forward to recive some input! Not quite sure on the dosing... As you can see a piece of wood released tanins and the water is amber colour...

Nothing better than reading this... http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1167 Cheers!

Greetings from Buenos Aires Tom, I just wanted to state that fishes from both my planted tanks started spawning after starting using EI. Serpaes and Cherry Barbs were spawning twice a week on a regular basis. Perhaps because the plants are producing more oxigen? Cheers, Javier.

Thanks mate!

Hi, just a quick question: Can I dose the CSM and other salts directly into the tank without mixing them with water? Right now I am using solutions as especified on James´s website. Cheers, Javier.

Hi, I removed the infected and old leaves, But just lef the wood as it was. I dosed 1 gram KNO3 and 0.2 gram KH2PO4 once a week. I started dosing 2 weeks ago. Didn´t do any water change (no CO2 tank) New leaves are not infected its only mature leaves. Greetings, Javier.

I think you didn't read my questions! Regarding fertilization: "I was thinking... should I increase the dose next Sunday? should I just give it more time" About the spawning... might be possible. Let me tell you serpaes display amazing colors when breeding! Greetings!
