Greenfingers is the man for this one, from what I can see I'd say your on the right path, wabi can take a month or 2 to get going, mine took a good 8 weeks before it started to grow properly, other factors such as room temperature can play a big part in plant health, remove the yellow and...

Thanks green finger :) it's not even on par with yours but you've give me something to aim for :) That wall unit is bloody amazing, brains ticking now :) and post away mate, that's what makes a good thread :)

Don't give me anymore ideas lol just waiting for the end of January then I'm getting my tank done I'm sick of looking at an empty tank now :(

Thanks mate :) I'm seriously considering setting up a few more, the misses loves it so I might be able to get one in the front room lol

Hc is definitely smaller but mc just grows so well its a tough choice really, the plan when I'm due a trim will be the same as when I did the moss, trim everything you want trimming then a temp flood it's just so much easier and cleaner :)

How's that for timing lol, its really starting to kick off now :) I'm not sure if it's the extra heat now the central heating on more or if it's that I've just left it alone and not kept moving things ever 5 mins :)

A little update, I think I've finally found the sweet spot the anubias has thrown up 5 new leaves in the last 2 weeks and the Bacopa australis is going crazy so much so I'm thinking of removing it as it's growing over the he and monticarlo at an amazing rate

Give it a go, very easy and can be great fun

Full plant list Anubias nana Moss balls Hair grass Ammania Hc Hydropiper Bacopa australis Lilaeopsis novea-zealandiae

Sorry lads forgot all about updating :( ive added some hair grass, a tiny bit of hc and a few stems of Ammania In all honesty it looks a bit of a mess but its a good experimenting tank I will get some pics up asap :)

Nice find on both the plant and the website :) definitely on the possible list :)

Its a possibility mate, not quite what I was after im more thinking along the lines of Cyperus alternifolius Or this one which is just about perfect but I cant find it available over here :( Cyperus Dwarf Umbrella Sedge | Riparium Supply

Im chasing my tail trying to find a Cyperus thats suitable for riparium use that is small ive found info stating there are species as small as 5cm but I cant find any names for these Does anyone know of any that stay smaller than approx 15 inch and will tolerate low humidity riparium conditions...

Its rarely a big problem as pretty much all plants are grown emersed at the nurseries ;)

No a few people on her do it, just recently a member (bigclown) turn 1 pot of hc into about 20 pots worth growing it emerged, there is also a few members who have done dry starts with staurogyne ;)

Thanks darrel, very helpful and nice links to ive not come across them ones :)

Thank you :)

Very nice foxfish, what are the 2 plants at the rear right ?

A bit up and down, the hc didnt do well and disappeared over a week, one of the alternanthera reineckii melted but the other 2 are doing really well, the moss is growing brilliantly and ive added some Echinodorus Tenellus which seems to be doing well, im working away until Thursday so I will get...

It can be a nightmare to find a bowl you want I looked everywhere before I found this one, it was expensive but worth it for the size, The light is 4watt according to the box but its really bright, hurts your eyes pretty quickly, ive got it on for 12 hours at the moment and it seems to be...

Thanks Ian :) Thanks Tim, it was a led desk lamp that I got from aldi for £4 I took the light bar of the top and mounted it to the stand I made there 8000k white leds, I wasnt sure if it would work but for the money I couldnt not try it :) heres a couple of pics of it, not great but I hope you...

Definitely worth a go :) looking forward to seeing what you come up with next :)

Yes this is tropica 1-2 grow I used half a pot in this and the other half in my dennerle cube I also used tropica 1-2 grow Ammania sp. 'Bonsai' which I wish I had used some in the wabi. The tropica 1-2 grow is absolutely superb you get quite a lot in a pot and its growing brilliantly and I think...

Thank you :) its a loose copy of one ive seen on Google images they used glosso and a red ludwigia, upto now its doing really well early days but im a lot more hopeful than I was :)

After far to long ive finally managed to get this planted :) Ive just this second finished it hench the water on the glass Plants are xmas moss, Fissidens, Alternanthera reineckii mini and Hemianthus callitrichoides Ive got no idea at all if this is going to work but its all good fun and...

Theres a demijohn on ebay for £35 looks very similar in shape I wonder if the misses would notice me sneaking it into house :)

That is amazing but can it be real ? Surely it cant have been sealed for 40 years ? No trimming etc

Hi murf How did you find the Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' ? Im wanting to try some emersed any tips or anything you noticed about it ?

Are you planning on trying any other plants in it ?

Brilliant step by step definitely something to consider doing for next tank :)

After a complete nightmare few weeks of none stop work ive finally got round to make a little stand and will be getting this planted up this week :)

Very nice mate, is that anubias I see ? Wanting to have anubias in my wabi but read mixed storys of success with it, have you got the roots submerged ?

Im not to sure yet, Ive got to look into it more but a few I would like to try are Fissidens, Utricularia graminifolia, Bacopa monnieri, anubias nana, HC, riccia

Lol no it was in the shop next door :)

Lol I didnt even think about that Thanks michael This is going to be probably more a case of learning what works and what doesnt, when it comes to emersed growing I know nothing. So ive got a few plants in mind so fingers crossed I can achieve something with it :)

Went to quote a job today and came across this beast so I thought go on then lets have a go at a wabi :)

Looking great tim, what lighting arw you using ?

Very interesting. Are they tropica 1 - 2 grow if so how many pots of Alternanthera reineckii did you use
