Additional Information This is the small, low light, low tech tank on my desk here at home. It gets dosed with 1 ml of Flourish Excel daily, and twice weekly doses of liquid iron and trace mix, Flourish Nitrogen, Flourish Phosphate and muriate of potash.

The Acorus is really a terrarium plant, I know, but I seem to have pretty good luck with it in the tank, and I like the coloring. It's hard to find tall, thin plants that stay small enough for this size tank.
