This one has been redone 3 times so far. I can’t even remember the first start.

Second start was with a heavily fertilized substrate with iron tabs. Not much else than crypto’s have thrived in this tank. Didn’t bother the Tiger barbs tho, neither did their offspring.

The 3rd start is the current tank. Complete aquasoil substrate, no additives except for some crypto-tabs used for the few crypto’s still in the tank.

This one has done really well with the plants, with a Colombo PRO CO2 system, a lot of maintenance on cutting the plants is required. It houses a shoal of cherry barbs, a small shoal of Rasbora Hengeli and a group Otocinclus, who don’t really shoal with the 7 of them, but do well with added algae tabs.
