Hi everybody: Mi name is Fernando and I'm very newbie in this great world of cryptos.

I'm fascinated with this plants after I've visited Xema's page, and I've really like this plants.

I'm learning very much reading this forum.

I want to show my little setup, it's "working" since 14th november, but it does very slow.
Is a 15lts (4 gallons) plastic recipient, with a 17W 840 light over it. The water PH is about 6, and KH is 1. I have a 150W heatter at 25°C, and a small pump to move the water. The plants are a C. Nevilli, a very small c.becketti with only 1 leaf, and 2 stalks (wendtii brown and becketti). The sustrat is a mix of peat with small gravel (about 1mm), with expanded clay balls on the bottom, and java moss on the top.
I add some terrestral plant fert once a week.
I've bought 3 stalks of Crytocoryne crispatula var. balansae from Aquaticmagic, I will received in 10 days. I want to put 2 of them on my aquarium. Can I put the las one on my emerserd setup? Some suggestions?

Well, here are some pictures. Suggestions, opinions, critics, help?
Sorry, because my english is not very good.
Thank for everything. Best regards. Fernando
