► In this Video, I show you how mixing different carpeting plants in your aquarium will create a more natural look. Having just one carpeting plant monoculture looks uniform and has its beauty as seen in many Japanese Iwagumi aquascapes. However, I believe a mixed carpet can look more natural and is more fun as it's always changing. This also means it might require some extra maintenance work, more about it in a future video ;)
Cheers

Hi Jurijs, When you will go to prepare the ground of a new tank with tropica soil, is raccomanded or not to you use also a substrate together it like the ADA power sand? Or only tropica powder will be ok? Ciao from Dani

@JurijsJutjajevs 4 жыл бұрын

Tropica soil can be used on its own. If you can afford you can use additional products such as powersand and all the additives - they will benefit the aquarium, but one can also have good success with only Aquarium Soil

Hi Jurijs, When you will go to place cryptocorine is there the risk that montecarlo needs of good light and cryptocorine needs of low light?...... and what do you think about to use montecarlo in a part of the aquarium and the eulocharis mini in another part, is it ok or is not raccomended?

@JurijsJutjajevs 4 жыл бұрын

Montecarlo will overgrow eleocharis. Montecarlo and crypts is no problem. Montecarlo Hand handle low and medium light and under good conditions crypts can thrive under strong light too

hey, I am planning to switch to Tropica fertilizers (Specialised fertilizer and Premium fertilizer) ..will these two cover all the nutrition that's required for plant ?? I know your brand ambassador for tropica .. but pls give your honest opinion on this fertilizer .. plants that I have are rhizome plants only (Buce sp, java fern, anubias sp) .. my tank is 75 lt , light is 21 lumens per liter, DIY CO2 (yeast), photoperiod is 6 hr. can pls tell me the dosing ?? I mean weekly after a water change or daily ?? ..

@JurijsJutjajevs 5 жыл бұрын

Tropica specialized is an all-in-one product. In your case i think the Premium fertilizer on a weekly dose is best to start with. You can adjust the recommended dose to your needs and experiment with a little specialized from time to time
