I'm having quite good success with Rotala rotundifolia, Hygrophila polysperma, Staurogyne sp., various mosses, ferns, and even blyxa in my low tech shrimp tank with Oliver Knott's Nature Soil substrate. No co2 or ferts, 60 litre, 15w T8 for 7 hours per day, and the tank has been running quite...

When I changed my 4ft tank from high tech to low tech I left my DC in too, and it stayed green for months. As soon as I changed the liquid it refused to go green at all, so I'm going to agree with Andy on this. This low tech tank gets no water changes either, and I have no algae whatsoever. No...
