![]() As I mentioned at the dinner yesterday. I have a soil and sand substrate. I regular add potassium to the water at least twice a week and prune plants that hit the surface. This has given me great root structure. Major grower of Cabomba and Amazon Swords.
Just started using root caps I got from aa guy online. Still testing.

![]() My trick is to place the heater under the filter to keep the tank evenly heated. Keep lighting on the light side as that tank is pretty small. Good experiment
