Thanks Tim! Amazed you remember it. Here's is the tank I posted above as it's looking now:

I'm getting there slowly

Haha. Was just googling how to grow glosso in a low tech tank and saw someone had asked exactly that in an aquatic forum! Woo hoo perfect. Only to realised it was my thread from 2017.

Hi I'm back again, it's been a while. I'm setting up a low tech tank here in Vietnam. Back in the old days there used to be solid Watt/Gallon rules for lighting, but with the advent of LEDs I'm not really sure how much I should be going for with a low tech tank. I have a ~400L tank, so just...

I have had a number of low tech tanks and have had brief success with Glossostigma elatinoides. It would spread out across the substrate, but subsequently would melt. It is rumoured that glosso can be grown in a low tech no CO2 environment. So I was just wondering if anyone has any top tips to...

It was Tropica substrate that I put in there but the tank is a year and a half old now so not sure what state it is in. I am relying on dosing using the perameters Tom Barr recomends for low tech. Makes it very hard to estimate the WPG equivilent though. But like you said indoor plants love a...

Hi Guys Due to the positioning of my tank I get a lot of natural light. That played havoc with my high tech setup. I have now gone low tech, natural light only and it seems to be working well, although it has only been a month. It gets 3 hours of direct sunlight in the early morning and then...
