Very attractive setup, really represents the Amazonios.

Can you tell me what is your water changing program?

[ArtsiGR]

@VeryBadReputation 100% reverse osmosis water - changes 1/3 of the whole water volume every 2 weeks - addition of minerals, hardness buffer, water clarifier, liquid plant fertilizer, extra potassium, extra iron - aquarium supported by 2x150 Watt Jager heaters and 2xEheim pro 3 2070e filters

Sorry about the video quality, it was filmed with a cell phone camera.

Whats floating at the top? What kind of live plant is that?

[ArtsiGR]

@espadawolf Pistia Stratiotes my friend.

@ArtsiGR Omigawsh, thank you so much! May I ask you advice? That plant wouldnt be recommanded for a Betta Splenden owner, now would it? `cause Bettas need to swim to the surface to breathe air on so if it blocks it...basicly, I shouldnt put any? Do they grow fast? If I do put some, could I rip parts of the plant so it doesnt get big? o-o Plzzz help! Dx

[ArtsiGR]

@espadawolf I've seen a lot of betta splenden owners having pistia stratiotes in the aquarium. No problem for the fish though, it will make its way to the surface! Pistia stratiotes is expanding really fast! I mean it gets triple every month, so you have to remove some of it every now and then... I have to remove about 3kgs of the plant every month, in order to keep the aquarium at a nice state. lol!

Its supposed to be dark in there! The lighting is blocked by floating plants...

Great job on the tank!

[ItzJustMac]
