Quok, how long do you typically leave a planted tank going before tearing it down and resetting it?
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

Love the 90 gallon! They are perfect tanks for the larger/taller plants and you've definitely put the tank height to your advantage!
Excellent work!
What are the other specs (type of light, filtration, fish, etc.)?Thanks,
AndrewH

Thanks for comments. This is actually nothing fancy, just old, conservative school for planted tanks. As you can see there is ordinary gravel as a substrate, no ADA Amazon super soil, no fluorite. Light 4x56W T5 form 6000K to 10000K gradually turning on and off. Common easy growing plants, some driftwood and stones found on the beach in Surfside. DIY CO2 (through powerhead) to keep the water around pH 6.8 and column water fertilizers from time to time (based on plant growth) plus Rena canister filter. Most important no substrate cleaning and no water changes, just fill up with RO. Fish: some teteras, small cyprynides also shrimp and an army of snails. I guess the trick is to keep it balanced.
