Additional Information Aditional info: 40-50% water change, declorinated tap water at 4-5 days. Lot of menteinance about 8-12 hours per week. (90% of this is trimming and replanting so the street of plants have good shape. I use unconventional plant selection that are unfit for usual trimming metods)
The hardest part is to respect all the rules. I had 23 species before and now only 10 so i respect the 10cm. rule, but it was hard to give up on those 13.
