Mmiller2001 Posted Thursday at 05:13 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:13 PM (edited) I wanted to share JujuFish’s tank from a different forum. This amazing tank is non CO2 injected (low tech) and represents what’s truly possible when you take some time and learn some numbers. Stability is created when week after week you give the tank what it needs. 100 gallon Planted Aquarium tank and cabinet Oase Biomaster 600 and 250 Finnex HLC lights Pool filter sand Inkbird controller GH 6 KH 2-3 20% weekly water changes Edited Thursday at 05:13 PM by Mmiller2001 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted Thursday at 08:46 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:46 PM Looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach Cruiser Posted Thursday at 09:38 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:38 PM (edited) Very nice! I've been considering reducing my weekly water changes & dosing to match in the interest of stability. And I've always wondered how crypts would do in my low tech inert substrate tank...also a 100g with Rasboras, etc. Edited Thursday at 09:43 PM by Beach Cruiser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted Friday at 12:36 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:36 AM @Beach Cruisertypically with dosing an all-in-one - unless it is a crypt variety that is bred for CO2 like flamingo or Jacobsonii pink - and some root tabs occasionally I’ve had great success. My nurii Rosen maiden mother plants just keep giving and giving me plantlets I sell at auction! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach Cruiser Posted Friday at 12:58 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:58 AM Very interesting! I'm most inclined towards the taller varieties like usteriana or balansae. I mix my own ferts, so it's mostly substrate/parameters that have me curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted Friday at 01:08 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:08 AM @Beach CruiserI’ve done crypts in aquasoil, dirted tanks, father fish style, inert pool filter and/or gravel. They usually find a way to survive and usually thrive! I love the longer varieties too! I have taller tanks currently a 45 tall and soon a 65 tall so they do such a beautiful job of filling that space and the quality of the leaves and texture makes them POP! Currently have Crypt aponogetofolia it’s a beaut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might just be my favorite. Seems to be difficult to find online. A response to a query on another Planted forum basically said it had fallen out of favor in the hobby, which is a shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted Friday at 04:37 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:37 PM It was a Wet Spot pickup a couple years ago. I’ve been nursing it along, I’ve restarted CO2 hopefully I can get it to take off again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
