The various ferns have been sprouting plantlets like mad, same for the E. parvilous. Wish I could say the same for the now-destroyed downoi. The crypts and various nanas are all doing really well.

look at how the flora had matured, overall very nice. Have you tried the Hygrophilla Sp. yet??
looks like you have somehow trimmed the moss, how you go about doing it??

Hi Richie,
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah the mosses/nanas/ferns have actually rooted themselves down to the driftwood and creeping on it. The plantlets are really growing pretty fast as well. I haven't tried Hygrophilla Sp. as yet, kinda torn between having HG re-planted there or E. Tenellus.
As for the moss, I drained out the water and trimmed it actually, problem is after filling up the tank, loose strands will tend to float around, at least it beats having to clean up when the moss is submerged and trimmed which will be a messier job. (Even more loose strands) It was quite a chore and the trim I made was not the best, could've done a better job (after a while the arms & hands become a tad bit spastic
I think the best way is to bring it entirely out and trim it but... expect a "Hiroshima".

Hey Richie,
Sorry been so busy with my wedding plus other stuff. Been away from the scene for a while, my tank has gone low-tech now. No CO2/fert/waterchange etc and surprisingly no algae as well.
I will try to post a photo as soon as I can.

Why'd you turn it low tech i mean it was great just look at the pictures
