Grass like filler plants

[blizowman1]

So here's a pic of my tank I only have regular gravel. I use root tabs and I dose excel daily, iron daily, and flourish once a week. I need fillers I've heard dwarf sag grows where It can't be controlled. And I heard dwarf hair grass is just impossible does any one know of what I could use or if one of the two I mentioned would work for my tank

Microsword. (Lilaeopsis brasiliensis)

Even though my tank is only a 29g how much excel should I dose daily

How much light?


Dwarf sag is invasive in high light, high CO2 environments, but not so much short of that. It's a nice plant. Echinodorus Tenellus is a similar plant.

Microsword has always been kinda meh IMO. It grows slow and usually propagates slowly.

I have a dual t5ho coralife fixture with one 6700k and one colormax on a standard 29g tank

I'd say dwarf sag. Sometimes you may need to pull some out if it starts growing out of control but that's like a 3 second job.

Echinodorus Tenellus is a similar plant.

This is a great plant. It's common name is Pygmy chain sword.

I have it my tank and I love how it spreads effortlessly.

I would link a pic but I've used up all my attachments on the iPhone app.
