i just need to find a home for that huge anubias nana floating around. i cant bring myself to throw it out but i just dont have room for it.

hmm, i wonder what could be done with that

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The tank looks amazing alex. I'm glad that the hairgrass is doing well for you. It just gets taller i my tank, starting to looks very unattractive.
Glosso looks good too, mine is starting to really take off and is forming a very nice carpet. I accidentaly ripped up one side of my carpet so it looks horrible. I can beleive how vivid the colours are!

I am deathly jealous. That's the best glosso I've seen!

I have an anubias tank, if you're still looking for a home for yours

lol shipping would kill u for the anubias. to the states is just brutal and with these temperatures it just wouldnt last. and water pond i already sent u a peice of it lol. i think i will just give it to my local fish store. same with my next pruning. i want them to have some different species to try. thanks for all the compliments everyone. after christmas i am breaking the tank down. it will be turning into my new 46 gal bow. i will finally have some room to use. i hope it will be just as stunning.

It's keeps getting better and better! Now all you have to do is grow something full enough to hide your equipment.

 

[mr funktastic]

lol i just need to move my equipment around. my filter is pretty much hidden by the lrepens and the heater just needs to move to the left a little aswell. and i am sure that in notime the h.polysperma will be hiding my powerhead. i need to change up the driftwood i have in there now. u cant even se it becasue of the moss lol.

Hey Mr. F, can you build a pipeline for the magical water so I can have some down here? lol. Looks great, love the colors.....

 

[mr funktastic]

thanks lonewolf. somehow i think the border officials may get a little suspicious of the pipe line lol. i will send u a jar of it for christmas lol

 

[Lonewolfblue]

lol....
Great looking tank...

 

[mr funktastic]

well i thought i would update this a little. no big changes but a few noticable ones. i removed the pot on the left hand side. replaced it with some rotala. i forget what kind. i need to tame the hygro a little. l.repens is a little over zealous and is outgrowing the tank. glosso is pretty much done its things. and nya thats about it. here it is...

the rotala i was talking about

l.repens

underwater

this is bacopa in another tank i have. it decided to flower on me. it is super red also on the tops of the stems. i can see it underwater.

i hope u like em

The tank is looking nice. I love the Ludwigia repens "rubin".

 

[rich311k]

Looking great, Mr. Funk.

 

[Glenc]

Very cool mr funk, your tank looks great! Love your reds and that bacopa flower is just to cool. Mine hasn't flowered for me, nice work!

 

[mr funktastic]

thanks everyone. as for the flower... just let it hit the surface. as it grows across the surface it send out little strait stems and then the flowers form on the end. i see 3 or 4 more about to flower aswell. this plant is to flimsy to actuall break the surface so as it grows across it turns super red and flowers. really neat little purple flower though. i will be doing a fairly big trimming tomorrow hopefully and will update with some new pics. the hydrocotyl grows like crazy and makes a cool floating plant though. the anubias is growing well to but is far to large to leave floating.
