any tips about your hemianthus callitrichoides? i'm thinking of using it to carpet a 60L shrimp tank. does it grow quickly? how would you recommend planting it? i'm planning on using Aquabasis and JBL Manado and fertilising it with ProFito and EasyCarbo

Profito use like micro elements and easy carbo just to help your co2. Most important are lights and good circulation of co2.
All npk you can buy from easy life , ada ,aqua art or mixed dry salts.
Your substrate will be good. Just cut small pieces and put in to substrate every one inch.
