Some vallisneria would be great( to add some height to the scape) and some trident ferns on the wood will match the thin leafy motif of the scape..love from India,❤
CO2 is CO2, bottles of so-called CO2 are actually a nasty chemical Glutaraldhyde, CO2 from yeast makes bread rise and will easily take water above 20 ppm of CO2 in a modest sized moderately filtered tank. Works as well as pressurised bottle systems for growing plants but the yeast dies after two to three weeks and so you have to recharge - most of us can coordinate fortnightly filter sponge cleans with freshly charging our DIY CO2 systems. Easy to use, less likely to kill fish and more environmentally friendly, on a small tank a home made fizzy drink bottle based system (with a spiral bubble diffusion chamber not a ceramic disc micro-bubble diffusion system) and you will be throwing plants on the compost heap on a fortnightly basis.
hi George, I've also been running a new lockdown fluval flex for about 6 weeks. Planted and hardscaped with some dragonstone rock. Just added my first livestock: 3 harlequin rasbora (I'll add some more in the coming days) and 3 amano shrimp. My online dealer of tropica plants sent me a mixed collection including several "medium" plants. I am running co2 and using the kit light. Surprisingly, given the relatively low intensity kit light, so far, all well including with the more demanding plants. I am thinking though that I might augment the light: any suggestions of what light fitting I might add given the kit constraints?
Nice five weeks update
Very nice also on the black background
Pinnatifida, buces and mini ferns would be a nice touch, cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷
Beautiful tank my friend.

Would love moss and or hydrocortisone tripartita...Thanks for update.
Change in leaf shape for the epiphyte maybe H. Pinnatifida or Change is colour tone, so some buce species with darker leaf tones :) Love it as always
I think some Java Fern Mini Petit would look good
I'd like to see two fixtures of Bucephalandra 'Kedagang' added, one piece on the lower left of the driftwood and another near the top.
Id like to see some buce kedagang
Hi.. Does DIY Co2 work well on these plants? I can't really afford a Co2 tank but unsure if DIY co2 really works. Really need your advise, thanks

Hi David. We’ve no experience of upgrading the Flex lighting. Glad to hear you’re enjoying your aquarium 👍
what ferts are you using?
Tropica Premium Nutrition. It’s explained in the video 👍
Then when should I use Tropica specialised fertiliser in green? Is it recommended to have both? Alternate days?
Notification Squad ✌️
What no jungle val?
Weird. I can't grow these exact same plants well in my fluval flex no matter what I do.
add bucephalandra kedagang
