shrek_vn2002 hears surf in the shell
my 29gl tank with new HC and driftwood

It's for a while since i was busy with my classes...
Here is some news : bought some HC and get the "driftwood" out and put it in the tank. I hope my HC will grow. It's doing ok for 2 weeks but its hard to tell...

Once it fills in it will be really nice. I kill HC in the first week so your has a good chance.

Looks very nice, I like it.

What are the specs on your tank? The fact that the HC is growing that tall means it's starving for light. I will go vertical and be ok, but won't stay tight against the substrate if that's what you're looking for it to do.

Thanks...
The tank is 29GL and i have 65W lighting. I dont think it is good enough to grow HC as it is growing tall and have yellow leave near the substrate. I wish I bought 2X65W Current usa fixture. 65W is not bright enough to take picture too

Ok yeah, exactly like you said. The HC will continue to grow upwards trying to get more light, unfortunately, with only 1x65 on it.

WOW... heck of a tank. Do you do any CO2 or carbon with that many plants?
