Dwarf hairgrass

[kimbog]

I'm considering adding some dwarf hairgrass to my shrimp tank. Can anyone tell me how you would vac the gravel after the hairgrass spreads?

Very carefully.

You may have some trouble planting DHG in gravel - it's hard enough with sand! : I hope your gravel is fairly small or your planting will probably fail altogether.

That being said, you would generally not gravel vac the area with DHG... accumulated mulm will serve as nutrients. Again, this shouldn't be a problem unless your gravel is too large. Pea gravel is the largest I would recommend for planting.

just go over the top of it kicking the dirt up.

Just go around it. I accidentally sucked mine up a bunch of times and it eventually died.
