This is the 2nd time i've had balansae flowering, but only have chance for a photoshoot this round.

Not a problem, but that will have to wait for them to flower

The C.balansae is summersed when it flowered? That means it sent out a very long flower stalk?

yes KF, the water is about 1.5ft deep and the flower is protruding out of the water. Thin and long. In the tank below.

Lorba:

Your lighting looks very yellowish . Is it because of the photo shot color or the original lighting from the tank light ? What type of lighting you are using (PL,FL,MH) and what is the total watt ? Dimension of your tank ?

Thanks !

Cheers

its probably due to my poor photoshop skill. Tank runs an MH of 150W, 3ft.
