Hi,
For me, on the long run, maintenance is really the trimming of plants. The bigger the aquarium, the bigger is biomass to trim
Do you think using echino/crypts as the majority of plants in a 40-60gal CO2 tank with my lighting (2x54W + 4x54W 3h burst, luminaire at 12in) could be a door for algae blooms?
Definately, a majority of stem plants in a big tank yields to high maintenance. I'm finding that the only stem plants that need few maintenance are Hygrophila Corymbosa and I could keep them + eventually one group of a beautiful stem plant, just for the aestetics. As it would be a small localized group of 6-8 individuals, it should be easy to maintain with my actual lighting.
many thanks for the help
