Hi, as far as i know, E.tenellus can grow without co2 and in low lighting as well..

Hi, the base im using is the AquaticStyle soil.. one of the cheapest around.. i dont use any chiller but only fan to maintain at 27C, but recent addition of discus i raised the temp to 30C by not turning on my fans..

Some updates. added more discus to the tank to a total number of 6.. had white spots outbreak last week and had to raise temperature to 32C for treatment.. therefore most Xmas moss turned brown as you can see from the pic below.. already retied the woods with healthy green xmas moss..

i also removed the black background so the colors of the discus wont be darken.

discus group shot.


Right now plants are in the recovering mode.. algae infested + melting.. probably due to the high temp which lasted for a week before i turned the heater off and on back my fan..

Thanks bro, nope mine is not under strong light thus its still greenish color, previously when i had 4x54watt T5HO over them, most were copperish reddish.. they are much more beautiful then!

impressive tank!

Bro, did I missed u mentioning yr tank size? Anyway u mentioned low tech which mean that u are not using a chiller for your plant and no heater for your discus, could u share how do you maintain a high temp for your dicus and a low temp for your plant, as what I see discus need 28degree to be heathy and moss need 25 degree to flourish?? Any trick to balance both Thks
