Love the foreground HC plant....
Nope! They always go for something that green-thin-soft to ease their habit of nibbling and chewing. Beside “greenish” more tasted of vege if I were they.Originally Posted by barmby
They not exactly belong to pencil fish speciment, it sibling family to them due to it larger body size.
Thank you!
Widely known as Marbled Headstander. I amaze at it swimming posture, sort like US Apache helicopter.

Love the foreground HC plant....
Hello! Here I attached some most recent updated photos to cheer you all.
The Hygrophila Pinnatifida. Just a week time. The leaf shape is so nice, and I also love their growing pattern thought.
Hygrophila Pinnatifida grown on other rock. For these I just peppered it into the small hole on the rock.
New moss, name unknown? Can someone here help me to ID it?
Put all these 6 package, which consist of 6 liters of porous ceramic to place that ordinary LFS ceramic in that
JEBO's 22 liter canister.
It not readily with netting?
Scrutiny the pores closer a bit.
Though a insanely largest number I have ever see; 6000m2/l? whereas they have exceeding the Eheim Substrate Pro 2 and the
Power House's media?
Further proceed. Install a second digital timer to replace the analogue one. That I have plan for long time, really feel a little nervous of the workload. Don't be confuse that I'm work these out altogether, instead the above filter things I have done like 3 week ago.
Here the completion work.
True recipe inside, Ha! Ha!, not the famous "Intel inside". Note that the new digital timer in there need a stand alone DC adapter (The lower left corner).
Messy stuff around.
Fits in, done.
Digital timer wiring excellent,very neat.
What is the left and right timer for?
i see there are 5 switches, the 3 that are connected,is it lights?
Is that iwaki pump?
Shoot!! i have a lot of questions...can you just explained what there?
I just wanted it to be perfectly clear, hence manageable beside less clutter. And once if any unplug is needed.Timer on the left is meant for control all the lighting (2 set;- 1st set is the 18Watt x 2 normal 6500K fluorescent tubes, 2nd set is the 36Watt x 4 of 6500K PLL lighting. Both set is make feasible for urgently being unplug while if carry out a maintenance task.). Another timer is a sole purpose for solenoid. BTW. First switch started from the left is for 1st Iwaki pump follows by the second one as is for 2nd Iwaki pump. Thirst switch is power up the left timer along with the lighting set. The fourth switch is to handle the other timer. And the PH controller is taking the last one.Less than what I think actually.

Self DIY invention;- attached the thermal probe into filter pipeline. Thus eliminate clutter inside the main tank. And make all of them into detachable parts for more of flexibility for upcoming unforeseen maintenance, as do also match with the previous assembling..

Hi Bro,
Can you tell me where do you get Hygrophila Pinnatifida from ?
I have seen that in Redhill, but it was charged at sky high price, $14 !
Someone told me that C328 is only selling at $6-8 but I can't find.
Thanks
Hi! Lee, as I was live in Malaysia, then doubtlessly I bought it over here too. Which indeed from a veteran aquatic enthusiasm friend of my. According to what he say that he was get it at RM45 per stem (he clearly highly as per stem not a bush) few months ago if not mistaken, almost equal to $14 you stated now.
BTW, this plant growing rate is considerably fast, thus it price will go down fast shortly.
To my observe that Hygrophila Pinnatifida obviously have a fairly strong and power rooting base which would enable it to attaches quite firmly to any hard surface it close at, and further it appearing a naturally creeping downward growing style which definitely capture most of our aquarist attention though.
Hi HC Rotala,
yes, I have it them in Amano tank. He inside in between those stones.. Very Beautiful.
Only 1 type of unzan stone and 1 type of plant... simple and yet beautiful
Just fyi.. I happen to see those stone in Singapore fish shop, and it is selling $260....
what a ridiculous price ! for a stone ! can use same $ to buy Samsung Tab3
Ha!Ha! things came from nature are priceless whereas they're only being existed only 1 and only 1 in the whole world. Definitely no second piece. Therefore surely can't be compare with a gadget things that can be print and produce numberless by a machine.
Okay! Enough of that hardware's crap, now me back to major topic.
The Hygrophila Pinnatifida almost 4 week time in my tank.
Hydrocotyle Tripartita healing back after being whack by Marbled Headstander few weeks ago.
Don’t know what name of this plant is? Only knew that it name follow by something like "xxxxxxx. sp japan" can some one here kind enough to help to ID it?
It look like Eriocaulon sp. since you mention japan

my guess is Eriocaulon sp japan..
There are so many Eriocaulon sp. (somewhere)
It's so interesting to see your eriocaulon/gujing sp Japan leaves growth facing upwards.
Thank for the clue, Zerofighterx101. Just finished google-ing found some sibling specimen ranging in the naming as..... Eriocaulon sp Sieboldianum, Eriocaulon Amanoanum. And I think should be it; Eriocaulon Amanoanum
Feel like Chinese name for the Eriocaulon Amanoanum is more explicit...... 日本榖精 .... 榖精
Just curious... where did you get the dark grey rock with holes on the right side of this photo?
I have small volcanic rocks that look similar and have been searching high and low for larger versions, these type of rocks have a relatively smoother surface texture with rounded edges and lots of larger holes... the ones i've seen at most LFS so far are more like lava rocks, very rough surface with sharp edges, which are different.

It definitely not a Lava rock, it's far more physically concrete solid with high density, and thus bulky. It's a sea rock I think.
I see... yeah, its a nice and unique rock shape and texture. Still looking for larger pieces of them.
Btw, here is a photo of the smaller ones that i have:
The LFS i got it from said the supplier only had limited stocks, so it seems quite uncommon.
