This is a true non CO2 low tech approach. Soil is aDA aqua soil, tank is 60x45x10cm, a single small internal filter is used, and a light, no other electrical devices are used. I dose about once a week or two,a tiny bit of everything. Trimming? Not much, I thin some plants out maybe once every 1-2 months. Water changes? Maybe once every 3-4 months tops, I check the TDS with a meter, try to stick with 250 uS plus or minus 50. I have about 100 Red cherry shrimp, some are show quality. several small bristle nose albino plecos, a few lizard cats, some white clouds. I feed once every 2-3 days or so, Ken's algae sticks. That's it...........light is a cheap T5 fixture, 3x 24W at about 50 cm above the tank, Micromol is about 40-50. Tap water here is about 100-150 uS.
