Do you dose EI? in all thanks? Do you use Co2 in the big one?
I'll definitively let you know when I plan coming. Thank you again!
Zero dosing in both shrimp tanks other than bump up the GH to 4-6 degree essential to shrimp proper molting, plants only get nutrients from old aquasoil, shrimp food and poop. I never had success raising Caridina sp. in high tech. tank. I keep the light intensity low enough in the shrimp tanks never causing any issue. Most of the plants grow extremely slow, except a few die hard species. Monte Carlo you see is the result of over a year of negligence.Then I found it doesn't look too bad in the form of thick bush so I decided to leave it like that. I thought the bottom will rot and uproot itself due to insufficient lighting, but surprisingly it stayed pretty healthy. It's probably the best carpet plant for low tech setup given a good substrate.
120P has high light(3 modded ecotech XR15FW), CO2 injected through inline atomizer, 2 canisters(2217 & 2078). I don't really follow certain fertilization regime like a clock, it depend on how busy I am, same goes for water changing/maintenance schedule.
