Thanks guys! I can thank fresh for the beautiful AR! I like the idea of pogo but aquarium planted central sells them emersed and it will melt... Does any other places with reasonable shipping sell it?

I also vote pogo. Mine is doing beastly! All of them are at least 18" tall! Co2 really increased the stem thickness, leaf length, and fullness. Just wish she'd pink up some more!

You are growing green gold there! Prepare your inbox. Lol.
Does submerged pogo erectus ship well?

Tank looks great! I think something long with sender leaves will look good in the back left. I'm thinking some Cyperus helferi. It can be had at petsmart in one of their tissue culture varieties.

Ha! Is that directed to me or schoe? I am still trying to grow what I've got. I did the emerged pogo erectus route and after about a 90% melt, I have about 6-7 short stems growing. Schoe has a forest of envy.

I've never shipped or received shipped plants... Probably gonna let it grow to the surface before trimming. One of the stems has three large stems off the base. Mine, too, melted like crazy when I first put it in. Lost most of their leaves, and the stems melted at the root - stripped the melted part and replanted. I've only trimmed and replanted it once in the last three months I've had it.

No that was directed a schoe not you Fresh! If they all melt during shipping I might just get them from aquatic plants central.

The tank is beyond clear! I have never seen it like this its like going from standard to hdtv! Some of the rotala indica doesnt look to great. Still seeing dome fallout from the blackout

Looks great! Good luck with the rotala mine doesn't like me either.

 

[bcarl_10gal]

Thanks! I gave it a big trim, crossing my fingers. I had trouble with it at one point in my last tank

Once my pogo took hold, it's gone bonkers. I thought my l. repens was growing well - after I removed 75% of it, and spread the pogo stems out, it doubled in size. Shoot, everything has been going well after I tripled my glut and started a vigilant pps pro regime...

Some of my stem plants are rotting in the middle of the stem but the tops of the plants are still growing. I believe this is a type of deficiency any know what it is?

 

[Fresh2o]

Which plants? I've had this happen to the Rotala wallichii and pogo erectus and thought the stems rotted because of low light. But your planting does not look too dense. Not sure why it's happening then.

Started with the Diandra then started to happen to the Red Myrio and Mermaid Weed.

I googled this and the message I'm getting from TPT and the BarreReport is low nutrients is the cause. None in particular were mentioned (macros and micros). Here's the TPT discussion: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/showthread.php?t=159823

So I want to order the Pogo for aquatic plants central and it came across my mind. "hey if I am paying shipping if I want to change any other plants nows the time" so I am thinking of a "mini" rescape. I will be adding pogo to the left side, switching out the red myrio with some new stuff and maybe replace rotala indica.... But with what..... I was thinking Red Walchii but next to the Myrio it may be the wrong leaf structure... what do you guys think?

How'd you do b?
