If anything I could imagine that my phosphate gets low now and then but i try and do a Lazy man's EI. I dose ~5 ml of pmdd every other day, and then on sundays i put in 2 tsp. of CaNO3, and a 1/4tsp Phosphate. Water changes are about 1/4 of a 30g tank every month. The tank is sparsely planted, i tried to start this highlight tank w/ 4 plants, 1 anubias nana, 2 crinum, and 1 chain sword. I had some R. wallichi, but that plant hates me...that's reciprical. There is 96+80 watts over a 20x20x24" deep tank but i'd say the crinums are no more than 12" from the waterline. The plants are kinda rebounding over the last month from when i ran out of fertilizer and hobby money, I had to stop my amano raising attempts too.

I do this a bit differently, i enjoy messing up if i eventually get it right. The tank is in teirs the lower tier is where the microswords grow, some large rocks make cliffs and rocks for anubias to grow, and then the crinums grow up on the upper level which will be eventually surrounded by anubias. I like the tank setup enough to finish this, so i oughta get it right eventually.
I hope you guys can help, I enjoy this little community and wish i had some more time to do events. BTW I think I'm going to purchase some of those virgin nerites after i learn how long their acclimation process is.
