Been waiting on this one my friend
I so wish you lived close..

My first tank was high tech. This time I’m going low tech.

I would say high tech tanks are more rewarding, yes they require more maintenance but they are ten times satisfying. And I found out that lean dosing method always puts algae under control in high tech setups.

Is that a co2art bazooka diffuser? I've been considering one of those. Personally I run both Ht and Lt, both have their advantages and disadvantages imo. Though I do find that lighting affects the colors of the plants more than the co2, the co2 definitely improves growth rate and sturdiness of the plants, and like you mentioned, allows to grow some more difficult species. I definitely have to trim my hightechs once/week and the nice co2 setups are a big upfront cost, I think I spent $300, but fairly cheap to maintain afterward, just refilling the tank. Plus once you've got that balance of co2 and ferts balanced in with the right plants, it's "bye bye algae"! Wish I could afford a second rig right now, I'd love having 2 more of my tanks on it. What's your preferred regulator/solonoid Justin? Great video and hope you have a nice weekend! 🙂👍

I am poor, so it´s low tech for me, with anubias, amazon swords, hornwort and Hygrophila polisperma.
