No Filter Or Water Changes For A Year.

[@GuadalupeGuacamole]

This gives me hope! I just started a small 2.5g with the same technique! Wish me luck! Your “jungle” looks amazing!!!!

Good luck, only thing about a 2.5 is the water parameters can change. But with light plants and steady feeding i wouldn’t worry.

same here for my shrimp tank, i do monthly water changes otherwise i just top it off.

[@ben_henry.14]

I’m sure they love it.

[@tacogirl1265]

But you obviously do top off right? How much and how often?

[@ben_henry.14]

Yes I do. I couldn’t tell you exactly maybe a gallon a month.

Do you know any plants that grow in any condition. For me its water Trumpet ,the one with wavy leaves . I have 10 w led baton and about 40-50 plants . They dont grow but dont die either

[@ben_henry.14]

I would look on amazon for the 3 seed package. It takes like 1 1/2 weeks for them to sprout but they eventually look like that. I would say 5 species per tank is more than enough that tank has 3. I would also say 10w is more than enough. Do you have good aqua soil. I recommend fluvul stratum when it goes on sale and that’s often on amazon.

[@Strange_Shard]

I forgot to tell you There's no aqua soil Only white gravel, they more like small stone approx 1cm I need specific plants. Like the water trumpet cryptocoryne wendtii was accidental discover after trying a whole bunch of plants

[@ben_henry.14]

Ok. For floaters please don’t get duckweed go with water lettuce. I would go with really and blade grass that sends runners. Also 1 or 2 java ferns, they are cheap. If your tank is big enough an amazon sord. I have some in my 55 they are so so nice. They grow like crazy are cheap and pretty. And I would get rams horn snails to eat dead plant matter.

I may have missed it, but what size is the tank?

[@ben_henry.14]

20 gallons, not sure I said tank size.
