The tank is 40L (10 US Gallons)
In the tank I have:
SUBTRATE PRODUCT:
Jbl Aquabasis Plus Substrate (Soil) With mixed with Jbl Kugeln (Clay Balls) Capped with Jbl manado substrate (fired clay) The soil provides nutrients such as iron and potassium the manado is CEC but has no nutrients and the clay balls provide loads of iron and CEC. API Root Tabs they're in there aswell. So in total I have 4 substrate products.
FERTILISERS:
I dose Jbl Ferropol weekly and Jbl Ferropol 24 daily. So that's two liquid fertilisers.
CARBON: I dose API Carbon Booster daily. To provide the plants with a bit of co2. Even though its not co2 it's glut but oh well.
LIGHT: High power Led light tile 25 watts.
PLANTS:
Java moss
Java Fern
Anubias barteri var. nana
Anubias barteri var. nana bonsai
Anubias Lanceolata
Cryptocorne Moelhmanni
Crypticorne Nevilli
2x Unknown Cryptocorne
Elodea Densa otherwise known as Egeria Densa or Anacharis
FISH:
5x Hengeli Rasbora
5x Small Cardinal Tetra
3x Corydoras Julii
Overall I am happy with tank performance. I have no algae and no Ammonia and NO2 and 5ppm NO3 and I have minimal tank maintenance. I will be purchasing more crypts and was wondering whether the investment in pressurized co2 would be worth it and whether such system needs a solenoid? Can't you just turn it on and off manually?
Pictures will follow.
