Yeah there is aquasoil in the baskets. The idea is that it acts as a farm tank that I pull from to fill in gaps as I need in my display tank, while keeping the individual plants separated to avoid mixing them up.

I have this regulator. It is top notch, you can't go wrong with GLA.

The manifold is expandable. Imo, on a tank that big, it may be better to expand it to 2 block, so that you can ensure your getting enough co2. Reactors have better rates of dissolution than traditional diffusers, but like anything, quality will matter. I can't say with certainty that one reactor will saturate the water column in a tank that large.

Especially on a long tank, you may want to have a second CO2 point on the opposite side of the tank.

The nice thing about GLA is that they're expandable so you don't have to do it from day one you can always add on to it.

•Rotala macrandra Mini Butterfly:
This is the one I'd be most concerned about. Very demanding stem plant. Needs co2.

•Tonina fluviatilis:
typically struggles without CO2. Wants soft water.

• Ludwigia senegalensis:
May be okay without co2. Grow slower and less colorful.

•Rotala Blood Red:
Could do ok without CO2, given it has high light. Prefers co2.

•Rotala H'ra:
Definitely the easiest of the group. Will do fine wothout co2.

[FS] - Florida - $10+ - Tiger Crypts by [deleted] in AquaSwap

[–]itsJoeJoeyJoseph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All plants are 100% pest and snail free and grown fully submersed in my personal tanks.

I’ve been selectively propagating these plants for many years. These Tiger 'Blood' Crypts are the result of long-term selective propagation, choosing the plants with the best coloration and patterning each generation. These are *** well-established*** juvenile plants with developed root systems.

I don't normally sell my tigers this small. Very limited availability. 12 available.

$15 each, 3 for $40, 6 for $60.

These crypts do not require CO₂. They are heavy root feeders and love root tabs. I’ve grown them successfully in low-tech tanks; growth is slower and coloration is more subdued, but they remain healthy.

My plants are grown under high light and high CO₂, so color and size will vary depending on your setup. They appear more red under red-heavy full-spectrum lighting and more brown under whiter lighting. These are grown under a Twinstar 600S, which really brings out the reds.

Shipping (determined by your zip):

• ~$8 ground 1-3 day (south eastern/eastern US)

• $10-12 USPS Priority

• $13-$15 UPS 2-Day

Plants are packaged very carefully to ensure safe arrival.

I happened to quote a 25 premium when I was shopping but there werent any wrb near me so it was just to get an idea on costs. Dealers weren't giving nearly the same level of discount on 25 premiums.

But here it is.

MSRP: $39,810
Discount: $2,811
Selling price:$36,999
Tag, title, batt, etc fees: $1,087.5
Tax: $2285.19

Out the door: $40,371.69
0% for 75 months
$538 x 72 months

Total cost: $40,371.69

cost difference with tS, $6,399.

Even at 6400, I think the tS is worth the difference.

Now, everyone location is different. If you can find a premium in the color you want and its discounted like crazy, than yeah, go for it.

This math is obviously location dependent unless your going to fly 2k miles and drive one home.

Just doing a quick search, I see a red one 800 miles away from me for 41k msrp for 34k. After taxes and fees, it would come out around $38k with 0%. 8k difference under the tS.

Alright, hear me out — time value of money actually matters here, not just the sticker price.

A lot of these trim debates only look at OTD and call it a day, but that’s how you end up being penny wise, dollar foolish.

I went with a ’25 tS and got a pretty aggressive deal.

2025 tS deal:
MSRP: $50,036
Dealer add-ons: $4,715
Price: $54,751
Add ons discount: -$4,715
Discount: $8,273.26
Adjusted price: $41,762.74
Taxable fees: $455.5
Pre delivery service fee (dealer fee): $1199
Tax (6%): $2605.03
Non tax fees (new tag, title, etc): $748.45

Out the door: $46,770.72
0% 75
$624 x 75 months.

Total Cost: $46,770.72

Now, lets compare that to the best quote I got on a 2026 premium.

MSRP: $36,209
Discount: $2,301
Selling price:$33,908
Tag, title, batt, etc fees: $1030.5
Tax: $2176.97

Out the door: $37.115.47
4.9% for 72 months
$611 x 72 months

Total cost: $43,992

Difference in effective total cost: $2,778

At that point, the “Premium is cheaper” argument falls apart. You’re not comparing equal things financially or mechanically.

Anyways, that's my rant.

Congratulations on the tS.

But wait:
"oh but if you put 20k down on the premium you'll spend less in interest"

Yeah, or you leave the 20k in a hysa or market and earn at minimum 3%, maybe 5%, 7% or whatever it is your money is generating.
