Wow Freddy that tank is very beautiful. Why are you parting ways with her?
My 4 footer is making way for new home/owner this coming Saturday 31 Mar 07.
Today, I fertilise, trim, add water, take photos... these are probably the last things she get before being dramatically torn down on 31th morning. So, I thought these last few pictures may well be the last I will ever take for her.

Joe,
Thanks for the compliment.
I am a family man with 2 kids and my spouse strongly think that there is better use for the space occupied. We are going to have new sofa and will be placed inappropriately close there. Possibly, a piano may be placed there for my daughter. Having no new direction for the tank for the last 1~2 years also did not help counter that decision.
When things settle down, I planned to go into nano tank(s) at a suitable spot. It will be good quality tank with interesting proportions. And it will be minimalist in setting and likely to resemble Amano's.
Yo Freddy,
That sound a little discouraging.... giving up your hobby for time being. I understand.
Nevertheless, how about selling me your stuffs like canister, solenoid valve or whatever you got. and i will take care of them till you get your nano tank and will sell back them to you at lower cost when you are ready.I know your stuffs are designed to be last till you and me retired!
Its that Ok with you... alas, i still looking for 4 ft tank, Loh suggested me last 3 weeks ago when i popped into his home, bloody hell...I hooked! those blue eyes killies swimming beautifully shoal!.I must get them but need to rid 30 jumbo cardinals first. Now Look ing for swap 3 ft to 4 ft tank.
Anyone got any FOC 4ft tank for me....
Eddy, I'll be clearing another double-tier setup* to make room for more orchids; a recirculating system with sprinklers and rain gutters for the returning water.Originally Posted by eddy planer
If keen, provide transport and additional help since my back isn't as strong now. Give me a call, don't SMS, so I know when to start emptying it.
* Top tank is 48"L x 18"W x 18"H. Lower tier has two tanks, each measuring 24"L x 18"W x 18"H.
I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,
Ronnie Lee
Freddy that is understandable. I guess I am in a position where I do not yet have a family to be responsible for and therefore my only responsibilities are the fish that I keep. I am looking forward to seeing pictures of your nano-setups.
Joe
Can someone help me to identify this plant?
Thank for your your kind offer, Eddy. I had sold everything except the DIT CO2 reactor (I received offer for this too but not confirm).Originally Posted by eddy planer
KL's tank has magic touch. I knew the hobby through him (knew him via website in US). I got hooked like you did, the moment I saw his tank.
It is Eleocharis vivipara, I think.
It is that species and a very good looking one too!Originally Posted by propor

Thanks. I hope it will not be long before I find a good spot and get "approval" from my spouse to setup those nanos .Originally Posted by AquaManCanada
Thank you for getting the name for me, Robert and Ed.
I bought it about 2 months ago. I did not expect it to be such a nice plant untill it grow till this large and tall.
Talking about that, plants always give me pleasant surprises in one way or another, I guess that's what many hobbist enjoy.
Hi Freddy, what is the plant on the front left of the Vivipara? The small green one.

Nikhil,
They are Elatine Triandra like below.
Really last pictures...
The tank is in good hands (new owner) who stay near my place.

Definitely was good while it lasted!
Thanks. It has been 2 years since the tank was gone. It brought loads of fun.
Elatine Triandra is a true foreground plant which creep on the ground faithfully. They are easy to manipulate to form very nice lawn. These Elatine Triandra were grew with only 144 watts in this 4x2x2 ft tank (that is, low~medium light).
The problem is they grew too fast, that's when they squeeze densely and grow upwards.

Those Damsels will eventually take over and dominate that tank.
Currently keeping many wild betta species and other anabantoids.
Elatine Triandra Looks like Heminathus Micranthoides...
