Thanks, yeah not a bad turnaround! There's now some D. diandra in the back right corner now to see how that goes. Hopefully will get a nice neat row of stems at the back. I've sorted the filter/light tilt now too, looks much better!

Changed things around now, trying to see if I can just grow a single Crypt "tropica" in there. Substrate is now leftover Africana with TPN+ capsules.

Pretty cool idea with the single specimen, similar idea to what the Tropica cube was marketed for. Be nice to see when it fills out

WOW, it looks fab dude. So simple and amazing to look at.

Could you take a picture without the filter and at eye level? I would like to see that amazing setup close up.

Sorry Luis I had missed your post! The tank's changed a bit again since then. I now have Staurogyne and HC in there. The HC seems to be struggling a bit, which I think must be due to the lack of CO2. The rest is growing well. I'm tempted to change it again though, but I'm not sure what to. Probably emersed this time. I'm getting into the whole lack of water thing! It's easier!

HC is only adapting, if you're lucky with algae you'll grow a nice carpet in a couple of months.
Had some nice HC growth in my low tech aquarium (http://oi50.tinypic.com/511n9t.jpg - a very old ugly picture).

The tank looks nice btw.

Thanks, yeah hopefully it's just being slow. Everything seems slow in this tank.
