    I have C. Parva and E. Tenellus too but the Parva is growing algae and the tenellus just wouldn't stay at the bottom. sigh
    Something about the water & the fishes that calms me down.

    The colour of the leaves is more dependent on lighting intensity rather than Fe.

    Echinodorus tenellus.

    Tried HC but found it needs quite a bit of attention.
    P-L-E-C-O-R-Y=M-A-N-I-A!!! YEAH!
    FLORENCE, capital of the region of Tuscany, has a population of around half a million inhabitants, spreads on the banks of the Arno, between the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian seas, almost in the middle of the Italian peninsula. It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science.

    My ranking:
    1. HC, don't know how well I'm gonna like it, since I just start with it.
    2. Eleocharis Parvula, shortest hairgrass.
    3. Glosso, used to like it very much, but it took over the tank too fast for me.
    4. E. Tennelus, something strange about the speciment I have. It started as foreground plant, but it grew so tall in my 60x30x36cm tank with 110W PL light, so I actually make it as nice background plant

    Simon,
    You mean E. Quadricostatus ? uhmm.. nope its e. tennelus alright. For comparison I had both in my 4ft tank . With less WPG, the tennelus there were at normal height.
    I thought with more light in 2ft tank they won't grow as tall, but this is just the opposite.

    You fed steriods to your E. tenellus???

    What lights (colour temp & wattage) do you have on each of these tanks?

    If adding compost(non-menure) is steroids, it would be so cheap & easy . Thats the difference with the 2ft tank fert substrate. The larger tank has Dennerle deponit-mix only as substrate fertilizer. I add more concentration of column fert & higher CO2 for the 2ft since it has more WPG.

    The light colour for both tank are same, Matrix brand with 12000K dymax bulbs. The 4ft(120x50x60) is 4x55W.
