[FC]

Thanks. Since you guys like this tank, below are the setup in 2003.

She has good growth of the Blyxa Japoinica.

very nice tank

just wondering wats the wattage of your light?

[b0r3db3ar]

wow.. swee swee setup you have there bro!

[ahadina]

About your blyxia, did you put in fert tabs to make it grow that big?

If you do, how often?

[FC]

I cannot recall, they are either 36watts x4 or x6.

I use Horti tab (with iron) and inject fertilisers into substrates.
Notice the Ludwigia brevipes on the right. Those are my second attempt. Here, my water temp hover at 27~30 degress celcius, at borderline to keep them going. They are difficult plant and to obtain their best glory, high light and low temp are required.

Nice looking tank and healthy lush growing plants you have got there !!

[kanguin]

Sweet man. It is a beautiful tank and plant combination.

[FC]

Thanks. I should have set the light hours longer to get the Ludwigia Brevipe (difficult plant that melt easily) growing dense and low.

[Jungle-mania]

WOW! simple and nice, simply elegant, not complex like the new designs these days. Is that a needle leaf fern wall I see at the back growing out?

[FC]

Yes, I had narrow leaf java fern as background.

[tarzanboy]

HGi, FC is that the japen grass on the front row it grow healthy and long I resume you use CO2 to achieve it

[Ben.tkc]

[milnek]

Very very nice and such a pity to let go... im sure you love it alot and have given lots of attention and time to the planted tank.

Can you ID the plant (2003 setup) for me which was planted in the far left corner of the tank? The tall green plant.

Thanks

[FC]

The plant is Aponogeton ulvaceus.
