Looks the goods mate...well done! How long has the tank been established and running fert free? Do you pH reduce the water?

Steve I am pretty sure crypts need to be planted in substrate and they do best in acidic water...

greg y:
This tank has been up and running like this for 18 months. Here is a pic of day 1


It's so low maintenance now. I do a large water change every 5-6 weeks and rinse out my filters every 4 or so water changes. lol
You can't tell from the pics but there's 6 rosy barbs and 6 Odessa barbs in there.

I'm excited to have a new tank (100g) but a bit sad to be breaking down such a nice tank for the upgrade.
I see a lot more water changes and tests in the future. It will be worth it though.

Crypts need to be planted.  I use the plant substrate found at stores forgot the brand.
My crypts do fine in tap water pH 7.6.
