I am having a very hard time in having a definite reply to what carpet I have in tank. Is it HC Cuba, Monte Carlo or Pearl Grass or any other. Its very important for me to know a definite answer so I can dose carbon accordingly. Please help

Please Identify which carpet is this. Thanks.
 
I’m thinking Monte Carlo. Leaves look a little large for HC Cuba.
Looks like you’ve got Java moss growing under the carpet and some of it is poking through. It’s a pain. Use care when removing it if you choose to do so. Pulling up on it can dislodge sections of the carpet.
 
Monte Carlo for sure, needs a trim too, u can see it’s yellowing in spots [emoji106]

Thanks. So dumb of me really. I thought its pieces of moss I put in my tank but after reading your comment I checked and yes that Moss is rooted in carpet. I wonder from where it came? I have some Christmas Moss in tank and sometimes pieces of it get here and there and I thought its same pieces of moss but I am surprised to see they were rooted in carpet. Is it possible that Moss I have in tank somehow rooted itself to carpet or if ig grew itself and its not Christmas Moss I put in my tank?

Today I careful rooted out a lot of moss. Don't know how to get rid of it or if now I have to permanently take care of it too.
Monte Carlo for sure, needs a trim too, u can see it’s yellowing in spots [emoji106]
Yes there a patch of little yellow leaves. But carpet is not thick from that patch. If I trim then I might disturb that place. Will see what to do. I already started iron and potassium dose.
 
So I found the shop owner who designed the tank and he confirmed its Monte Carlo. You guys guessed right [emoji106]
