Any updates? This looks like it's going well!
Thanks 
It's going alright. I am lowering my standards and not caring about it so much. It's a tank I am considering tearing down -- space is a bottle-neck to how far I can go. All the stems I grew emersed above bends over the lid within a few days. The Crypts start pushing against the glass. I still like the tank and concept though.
Right now I'm just storing stuff in it while I trade. Still no animals, still no thought on design and looks.
The cover is mostly emersed Java moss with bits of M. tennerum/Pellia, Christmas moss, and Riccia in it. Here's a piece and if you look close you'll see M. tennerum woven in there. It grows flat against the concrete structure and feels just like turf.
Clump of emersed Java moss, and Pellia so invasive it is covering some Java fern I was trying emersed. (Still alive, but not doing much.)
Still no flowers on anything but P. fluitans, but there's a weird seed-like bud thing on the end of this red stem (??) of Hydrocotyle leucocephala/Brazillian Pennywort.

Very cool, seeing aquatic plants growing above water is very appealing to me, makes me want to give it a try!
This is a different tank (my grow-out -- I need to skim the gunk off the surface...), but here's L. "Cuba" going out of water, hopefully to push you over the edge Travis was harvesting stuff from his new emersed 20 long last I chatted with him. You need to get one going too Glen!
I'm going to let the L. "Guinea" and L. aromatica elsewhere in the pics grow emergent too I think. (Just to try, and I am lazy.)
(edited for better pics.)
