Nice nice. How many tank you have in your office? I guess you cant retire from this wonderful hobby anymore. You should be reinstate back your mod post immediately.

Agree everyone?

Hey, I'm enjoying my scaping in peace, all the moderating and policing should be left to the younger crowd!

The spikey orangy stem plants in the background. What is it called? are they easy to grow in temp of 27 - 28 degree? I just bought a bunch few days ago and still waiting for it to stabilise.

Ludwigia brevipes- yes they are easy plants.

how does your light set look like? do you have a pic? cause it seems that it can keep the glosso happy.

set-up after planting-March 2010

This is probably about a month plus into the set-up. Light set brand is rainbow, comes with 2 blues and 2 whites, I changed it all to white.

i was asking because im setting up a 1 feet cube but have solely a 1 x 24 PL, which i was wondering if it was enough for a lawn like HC.

Hi feimiao,

How do you actually trim your Ludwigia Brevipes until it becomes thick and bushy. I have the same plant in my tank (Almost the same size as yours) mine only grows tall.
Any tips? And is it true then when the leaves get close to lights it will turn red/orangy, because i notice the leaves closer to the surface / light is normally red.
By the way i am doing ferka aquatilizer and balance K daily.

Thanks.
