    there's CO2 for this tank, the lights are 36watts x 2 but I have cut it down to just 36 watts recently. I find I get better growth for the Bolbitis heudelotii with the lowered lights.

    I like the definintion! And yes, join the APC contest!

    But I think the light should be more in front though, the tank is a tad too dark

    The tank look so calm, my first thought was 'Hey, that's a vivarium what...' Then I saw the Blyxia sp.. Haha...

    Very nice, indeed! But I agree with Terence that maybe it can do with more light... At least for the shoot for the APC contest...
    Read me! :bigsmile: http://justikanz.blogspot.com/

    I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted! ), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted! ), C.tonkinensis(Melted! ), C.walkeri, C.wendtii 'Brown', C.wendtii 'Green', C.wendtii 'Green Gecko', C.wendtii 'Tropica' and Cryptocoryne x willisii

    Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...

    Thanks guys for the input Already submitted for APC.
    Yeah! If I lowered the water to half and get the ferns to grow emerge, then I get a vivarium with rubies...kekeke..

    Yes...a pity....They are rare nowadays...took me almost a year before I managed to acquire this batch.

    BTW, anyone can ID the crypts in the last pic?

    Thanks! Mine are the smaller sp., for some reasons I get stunted growth on the bolbitis when my lights are too strong, once I reduced the lights they are okay.

    Talking

    haha a lot brown crypts can only tell what it is when it flowers. some need dna test!

    not expert but my guess is its C. Mi Oya.[don't shoot me if i'm wrong!] C petchii looks similar but is thinner.

    BTW Art at APC sent me an email saying USA under-represented. maybe he means foreigners over represented?.

    Nice one ... I would love to have such a tank so that there's less trimming to do.
    But have a feeling it is getting too bulky. Like not much swimming space left.
