i really like the 2nd one .seems like you're growing plants ok without co2.well done mate.

You will need some source better of co2 as echinodorus does not really need a lot of it than weekly water change can supply.

for now maybe get easy carbo or flurish as blyx does not grow without proper co2 levels as far I know.

Yea second is best but I bet these branches did no god for the water - tested

Nice tank mate!

I will buy CO2 system in few weeks time, i just reserved co2 buttle and I need other accessories to collect.

I think the same second one was one of the best, but I decided to keep discus so I had to change my layout as there were to many sharp things so for safty reasons.

Branches didnt change my water quality and parametrs


Thanks guys

Hi all

i really like the 2nd one

I liked that one as well a real Apistogramma/Discus blackwater tank.
Here is the Tank Lukasz "Ruki", a famous Polish (from Krakow) Apistogramma Breeder bred his A. "Breitbinden" in:

and here is the male fish.

I know Ruki from polish forum apisto.pl. I saw most of his tank and they are fantastic. His tanks are inspiration for many people.
