I think I should be dosing something as the leaves have holes in them, but a reduced water level whilst I was away could of caused the leaves to dry out more than usual.

Everything's ticking over really, I've not done a water change yet or dosed anything! I had increased the water level for my holidays and plan to reduce it later on this week back to a better level.

Re: Will this emersed setup work with Crypt Parva? Hi Matt, When the water level in my tank reaches the level of the substrate, I plan to put moss around the base of the plants to stop any fungal growth. Good to see a few of us trying different things. I can recommend the fogger as in mine...

Thanks, I think you might need to get out more Stu!

Since adding the fogger, new emersed leaves have formed. A few photos of how it looks now and when the fogger is on.

So things are going ok in the tank, there's hardly been any evaporation so I've reduced the water level today and added a Mini-Fogger Mist Generator that is currently set to work 15 minutes every 2 hours. The plants seem to be doing ok, nothing massive as yet but then most of the leaves are...

Sorry I didn't post these earlier as I was at work. What is the main reason for this setup? To keep the plants? Propogate to plant more at a later date? How do you think the fogger is performing? Is it required in your experiance?

Bit more high-tech than mysetup, looks good tho.

This is more like a grow-on setup rather than a "dry start" method setup.

So I bit the bullet... using eco-complete for the substrate, just managed to use all the crypts. Any comments are welcome.

That would be a good idea, I just don't have a spare filter to do that. Especially, as I'm going away for a few weekends this month and also a two week holiday coming up.

It sounds like I'd have to nearly fully cover the plants first and then start lowering the water level so that the plants don't just melt away. Plus the current plants won't be able to stand up on their own!

Thanks Ed. APC eh? Another forum to look to...

I'm thinking of keeping my unwanted crypts but in an emersed setup as I don't have any other source of co2. What would be the minimum requirements to keep them for future use? I have a 60cm juwel reckford that I could use and a few powerheads to move any water.
