Cryptocorynes need to be planted into the substrate. They are heavy root feeders.

Whats PFK?

 

[Ark]

pfk = practical fish keeping

 

[madgap]

...As in the magazine?

 

[DevUK]

Yep. PFK did a subscription offer last year where they gave away a limited amount of AquaCubes (or something). Sexy little 30litre cubes with an 11w arcpod light. Wish I'd subscribed!

Make me an offer for a cube, light (original plus 24w Interpet PC T5 and reflector), HOB filter, heater....though I am debating using it sometime as a Tropica plant 'nursery' *cough*......
