    Not bad, will be nice once matured. Personally i like the wood very much.
    Any reasons for the break in the lighting period?

    how's your tank going bro? how'd the 96watt lighting treat your tank? I in a dilemma of picking either a 24x2 or 24x4. Have yet to decide which one to go with.

    hanz0my,
    got some BBA due to faulty timer. all is well now.
    24x2 is enough for most setup. i pick 4x39watt solite because it looks nicer, covering the top almost fully

    kiasu,
    that's Eriocaulon sp (pipewort). not sure which country it's from.

    About your Eriocaulon sp

    Hi,

    Just out of curiosity, did your Erio develop the white bulbs after you got them, or were they there when you bought them? I have 5 Erio in my office tank; they have grown bigger, but none develop the bulbs which I thought looks very interesting.

    Also where did you got yours? And from your updated picture, you seems to have removed them, are you still keeping them, any chance that you will release them?

    Nice setup!

    Cheers

    Limbeh,
    yes, this Eriocaulon sp has pipewort. common ones does not has it
    i shifted them to my 3ft tank recently. not selling them at the moment as i'm left with just 3 stalk
    imo, it's difficult to scape with Eriocaulon. mind post your scape?

    1 ft Tank in my office

    Hi,

    This is my setup. Two of my Erio are on the left, they have grown much bigger, but no bulbs ....

    So you got yours with the bulbs? From where?

    cheers

    nice ,neat and simple setup

    you can add some more stones around the driftwood.

    If you can retain some substrate area around/behind your driftwood.
    You can add some cryptocoryne species in between the stones and driftwood.

    Then you can add Vallisneria nana or Cyperus helferi at the background.
