I do not use ferts. Not much maintenance. Lighting is 4x55 retro fit compact flourescent. The plants are: willow leaf hygro, sunset hygro, java fern, java moss, anubias, amazon swords, tiger lotus, corkswrew vals, jungle vals and some taiwan moss.

Manzanita branches. You just find some dead stuff up north of Phoenix, bring it home and clean it up. Soak it for a couple of days and your good to go.
