    Because they are grown too thick thus unable to locate they're root into the soil properly.

    And beside that the keeper given very less attention for them recently.

    If your tank continues to run for another 3 years... the HC will form a layer so thick it will reach the water surface

    Apparently so, amazing! So i guess you have to trim the top layer off every now and again? I'd be scared to do so incase i killed it off. I did so the last time, although i guess it didnt need trimming at the time

    I'm kind of mood less now day to tasking the tank. If i wanna to start i will clean swap all those H.C, probably reserve the fore ground for the Chendoi (U.G) only.

    If i handling a scissor, i sure will trim the H.C wisely, because i know they will grow back shortly.

    Eheim & Jebo. The Jebo "Canister" is relatively tougher and better in term of build quality and moulding precision. But Jebo filter pump like 2nd World War aeroplane.
    May be due to different OEM product manufacturer in combination.

    Placement of 2 flow outlet (one in front another in rear corner).
    Surface movement is considerably extreme. Well i never used any spray bar ever since i have a canister filter, i really hate that spray bar, it only jeopardize the overall system performance (Bad invention).

    "Screw turbulence linear" transparent surface extracter. Ha! that was self invented after a dozen fail & error. Performing water surface limes clear out in minutes.

    Looks like i got to trim frequently as well. Hope 1FT HC together with some rotalas indica doesnt require trimming weekly.

    Jebo 950 is better than Eheim... physically & surely (at least for me- for the canister only, not the pump itself)

    Arctica is my dream chiller. It generated less heat around in confined space, secondly it digital thermostat is more precise in temperature control.
