    Exactly my point, but those who can afford don't see an issue with it while those who cannot afford it goes the lowtech route like myself. Btw nice videos really informative.

    Thanks loads. Yeah tank has really taken shape since I first did it. Hasnt given me a seconds worth of hassle.

    Whats changed (updates):
    - still on 1 bubble p/s on the CO2
    - Dosing full dose (15ml) of Ei Ferts for 6 days and 1 day off
    - Added a black mollie to combat protein film on top
    - Adding a powerhead to just below the java fern (back right) to increase flow but not blow away my Chocolate Gourami

    Hydrocortle Tripitata is growing like a weed! Given away about 5-6 hand sized portions in the last 3 weeks.
