I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
You can grow almost any plant that way. Because sunlight is much more effective than artificial lights. Just watch the temperature and you'll be fine.
There's not much problem growing plants this way. For me, the problem is the unwanted algae after some time.

Works well for Crypts! I love Crypts!

A few days back i bought some hairgrass and planted them in my tank, i had some left over and put them in a container with water and left it at the balcony (my balcony has only morning sun), the next day i went to clear the water (no want mosquitoes) and was shock to discover that the HG is sprouting new roots, runners and baby grass.
No fert in the water or co2, amazing.
Try growing emersed HM in a container of water and leave it in the sun... You will see pearling from them... No CO2, and no fert too... The power of the sun!
Yeah, hairmoss is one of the best photsynthesizers you'll find. Too bad it's so hard to make it look good
I saw my glosso sticking up new leaves when left in a small container of water by the window.Originally Posted by densagoku
I also grow crypts, Anubias barteri and various mosses in a simple small tank by the window with soaked Aquacaly-like substrate. It's misted every morning, and the substrate re-soaked as necessary. It's covered by the plastic cover 5-plan tanks come with.
Yup, Glosso is easily done. Grows much much faster than the submersed form. And temp hovers around 30 Dgrees C. Could easily cover a foreground in a week!Originally Posted by |squee|
But Crypts are more difficult in a sense that they will still melt and you see nothing for a longer time as they grow ever so slowly!

The trick is to buy them while they're still in emersed form
I've experimented a rizhome of dying anubias v. nana and a rizhome of 'windolev' java fern plantlets with aged water and sunlight in a betta tank....both grew up healthily and sprouted many new leaves now...
