Im thing im going to get some more eleocharis acicularis. Any suggestions on ferts or anything for the plants. I am also looking for suggestions on what to put in here. Thanks! Ill upload some more pics tmorrow when the bubbles go away.

Sorry I didnt think anybody was following! Glad to see someone is:rolleyes:!
Day 12 It looks like the Eleochars parvula is really filling in. RUNNERS!:dance: Ariel view pic and a pic of the front. I am spraying it every other day or everyday depending on how dry it looks with diluted seachem flourish, should i also put excel in there? It is growing pretty well but I want some more to speed up the process. So far the only I have found comes from Poland! If anyone knows where I can find some please let me know!

Awesome! So... No co2? what type of light are you using? Substrate?


Never mind lol, just re read the first post again.

Its a method used usually for hairgrass or dwarf hairgrass. You plant the dwarf hairgrass with the tank dry and you put saran wrap on the top so moister cant escape and your light on top of that. And you spray the dwarf hairgrass every day or every other day to keep it moist. But it grows better because it can get Co2 from the air and there is no water between it and the light. And no algae!!! There are many videos on youtube with people doing it.
 
No, don't add excel to the tank. They're already getting enough carbon from the air. What are you doing for macronutrients?
