Has anyone sustained long-term emersed scapes, similar to setting up a dry start then just keeping it like that?
I'd quite like to do it for one of my tanks, as it's an iwagumi and quite honestly would look better sans equipment, but I'm guessing there could be the following problems long-term:
1) pests? If so, what ones are likely to crop up?
2) trimming, will carpet plants choke themselves with growth, in which case how best to remove cuttings effectively?
I've had one small set-up like this before, but I re-scaped it before long
