would you consider using spiky moss? I'm a firm supporter of it, really looks good as a foreground plant
Besides Glosso and HC, what other carpet plants are available in the market?
Glosso is difficult to maintain and HC can be a challenge to grow... So what else? Exclude APP...

Aiyah, why exclude APP?
Spiky moss, the common hairgrass, Cryptocoryne parva, Echinodoras tenellus would be some commonly available and nice foreground plants...
Or Japanese hairgrass, Lilaeopsis brasiliensis and Hygrophila sp.'Araguaia' are good alternatives...
And with T5HOs, I think you can try to use Rotala rotundifolia and even Hygrophila difformis and let them crawl... (Yes, I got difformis to crawl using my T5HOs!)...

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!
Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
me myself would like to see downoi lawn, finding it be really nice. perhaps would try out one day on a small scale tank, since their growth are pretty slow.
valice, else try out the 'chendol' plant, suppose not much people tried out.

Singapore have quite a lot of foreground plants to choose from.
Riccia, mini riccia, pellia, mini pellia, hairgrass, jap hair grass, Ranunculus, E. tenellus, all the mosses, fissiden, quadricostatus, Utricularia sp., Lileoposis, Hydrocotyle, just to name a few.
And this plant that looks a bit like tenellus, forgot name...Rxxx rxxx
If your lights high enough, lots of things will crawl. MM, Rotala indica, H difformis. If your tank big, you can even use things like Blyxa, windelov.
Try Marsilea... no need strong light, grows low. Easy.
Elatine gussonei would be quite cool too. But only if you can it in Singapore.

After some thought, I will replace my glosso with APP and HC...
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
no man.. dont use APP!!! damn scary..
Really? Worse than glosso? I think I better take a picture of my current scape and ask for suggestions for replacement plants for my glosso and ET... Maintainence is a headache...
What's wrong with your glosso and ET? if you don't want, I want for my re-scape
...I love rubies too ...

Will have ET for your rescape when I do my maintainance this weekend...
ET is difficult to thin them down when you want to as they will highly like pull up its neighbour.
Also for my glosso, part of the lawn melted very badly during my salt treatment and the new plants are growing over the patches, generating some sort of ammonia pockets, causing staghorn algae to propagate slowly there...
So thought of just rip up the entire bunch of glosso and replace with something... ET I can still keep a portion and replace with downoi...
