Less is more. The light yellow of the leaves is very serene touch :)

Thanks Stephan (Stefan?)! I love that hue the leaves put out 😊

It looks good. But when the plant grows in its will be awesome.

One question the catapa leaves can drop my TDS ? … because I want drop my TDS in natural way (no water changes)

[@freshflowaquatics]

No, capata leaves will not drop your TDS as far as I'm aware. Leaves can lower pH by releasing acid as they break down. TDS is made of mainly inorganic salts like calcium, magnesium, potassium and more. If you want to do this in a non-water changing way then stock your tank to the brim with plants. They will consume some of the elements that comprise TDS. Also, I've heard that carbon/charcoal can remove dissolved solids from the water, so maybe that's worth a shot?
