Hmmm, that may be an issue... I do not have an efficient way of collecting rainwater here. Unless there is some chemical/additive that I can dose into tap water before adding to the tank, I'm not sure what options there are. I use tap water and dose with Fritz Complete or Seachem Prime...
I played around with placement of the Crypts (Wendtii Green and Petchii) in the front of the tank when I got them in and tried to put the Petchii a little further back since they should get a little taller. The Wendtii only grows to about 3" so doesn't seem like an ideal candidate for that...
- Got the new wood and plants added. Attached a few pics... better?
- Found a few brown oak leaves that fell, but haven't put them in the tank. Assuming they need to be rinsed at the very least?

Hello Community! Quick intro - been in the fish keeping hobby since I was a kid, but didn't have a 'real' tank until I was stationed in the UK while in the Navy. Have really only kept S. American tanks and really enjoy them, but finally starting to venture into new species and setups. Had a...
