sorry I stopped checking the thread until now to post an update. thanks everyone for the compliments! I still have many plants available and I jut got new ones for the 40g - Hygrophila pinnatifida, Ludwigia arcuata, Rotala Colorata, Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides, Willow Moss and fissidens fontanus. just started dosing metricide because my flourish excel ran out

55g



40g

the rotala colorata is growing horizontal is this because my light is too bright?

 

[bettalover77]

that is likely, but in my eyes not a bad thing

update:

40g - now rotated short side to the wall



does anyone know why this ludwigia arcuata is growing like that?

 

[ROYWS3]

What is the clover looking plant carpeting the bottom? The moss is growing on something (some plastic net looking thing) I have seen this before - what is it? Does it help it from taking over? I have had my java moss almost completely take over a 10g, to the point that I almost want to get rid of it. I have several low light plants, but looking to start expanding. I will be looking for a better lighting system and will be looking for some new plants soon.

Your set up is just goodlights? No Co2? What kind of substrate?

thanks for the interest, the clover plant is Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides, the mesh is stainless steel and only there because thats how i bought it and the moss is now tied down to the wood. I have 2 55watt ah supply lights running at 9 or 10 hours a day, flourite substrate and I dose 2 cap fulls of metricide 14, though i don't know if it does anything other than keep the cladophoria from thriving (stupid moss balls :wall: ). thanks for the kind words everyone!
