I figured it's about time to share my addiction with APC. A while back, Crypt Fever hit me hard and I've never looked back.



The lighting is 3 60W 6700K compact flourescent bulbs (the twirly ones from Lowe's). For substrate, the common species are potted in a mix of spaghnum peat moss and Fertilome potting soil, and the blackwater species in Aquasoil.

C. wendtii x "Hybrid" - the one Lowcoaster used to sell


C. longicauda "Brown" - this melted down to nothing but came back strong


C. affinis (maybe?)


C. hudoroi - just look at that bullation!


I haven't got any spathes yet, but most of these have only been in here for a month or so, or just converted over from submersed growth.

The only non-Cryptocoryne plant in here is Limnophila sp. "Guinea Broadleaf", specifically because the Plantfinder says emersed growth hasn't succeeded yet. It's a weed for me! No flowers yet, but it grows like crazy.

So what do you think? Questions? Comments? Rude remarks?
