A-ma-ZING...did I read/understand correctly that you are using a soil based substrate?

I've read about it here:
For Dan ... Spezial N - Nitrogen Fertilizer | UK Aquatic Plant Society

Do you use tap water?

Yes I use only tap water changed 40-50% weekly, I've got good quality water from Goczałkowice:
Ph: 6.9
NH4: 0.084
NO2: 0.0023
NO3: 4.888
Fe: 0.045 mg/dm3
Mn: 0.02 mg/dm3
TWo: 67 mg/dm3 CaCO3 ~3.7
Ca: 21.7 mg/dm3
Mg: 3.06 mg/dm3
PO4: 0 mg/dm3

A-ma-ZING...did I read/understand correctly that you are using a soil based substrate?

I use DIY base contain ground/earth from my garden (I was too lazy to go further) roasted clay, sand, peat all mixed thickness about 1-2cm. Covered 5-8cm layer of basalt

I've been advocating the use of soil substrate with CO2 injection for some time now and - judging by your pictures - it just goes to show that it can work really well.

Excellent tank

Beautiful tank. The Eriocaulon works really nicely. I only read about this plant for the first time last week and it is definitely something I would like to try in my tank some time in the future after seeing it in yours. Great work. Nice to see undeniable evidence that expensive substrates are not essential in planted tanks.

Jimm, I saw many tank with perfect plant condition without any mark substrate, In my opinion key is water, fertilizing and light not more not less.

Hello Michal,first of all your tank is absolutely stunning.
Just a question-do you cut off those flower stalks(buds) of e.cinereum?

 

[Martin in Holland]

are you running one or two filters?....or am I wrong in that Eheim 2228's output is 1000 liter per hour?
Great healthy looking tank though..loving it to bits

Well I do not have any flowering, if they appear I will cut them.
