How do you keep the HC in the substrate? I've been replanting the chunks about every other day. My cories uproot it all the time; and I replant it right after. Are there any ways to keep the HC down ? Some of the HC have grown; but the rest are floating at the surface.
 
I actually only used 5 I got so tired planting it. The other two pots I'm going to use for a new tank setup.
 
I can't wait to have a grassy plain in the tank. Some parts look good. but ill keep planting. Thanks for the advice.
 
What substrate are you using? That may be part of the problem. :D

I agree....its going to be hard to have it all stay in the substrate with the Cories.

Use some tweezers and shove it as far as you can in the substrate.....some of it can be covered up. Then just replant what they uproot. Eventually, the part that stays in the substrate will root and spread.
 
I have about 1 1/2 bags of Eco Complete in the 20g Long - its about 2-2.5" of substrate.
 
This is how my 20 gallon emersed setup is looking with hc. The first picture was taken a couple of days ago, while the second pic was taken March 1. I split up the hc into much smaller pieces a few days after and it has really taken off.
