Love me some crinum (calastratum or natans)

Staurogyne repens can also be trimmed too make a good carpet.

Those pictures look wonderful. Will following this thread with a jealous but admirable look in my eyes! ;)

I take it you haven't seen the movie Anchorman? Sorry wouldn't get the reference :)

I'm gonna put moss on my intake and wrap it round with some fishing line. "30% of the time it works every time"

Awesome. I'm gonna do the same thing on my intake in a couple days. We can both post pics and compare. What's your technique gonna be??? :)

If your worried put a thin sponge over the intake. Doesn't look like it'll be a problem though :)

Tie it down well and it'll be fine. Better for loose bits of moss to go into the filter than to litter the tank IMO

Java moss is really useful for fry and shrimp. To hide and feed off of.

*Black background

I agree on the black ground. Try some foreground plants aswell.

Java moss Anacharis Cambomba Are all useful for this purpose. Although cambomba tends to shed it's spines everywhere.

That's doing really intuitive. Buy a 30 inch one and more sure the five modules are the plant growth modules. $70 initial cost and you can double the lighting for an extra $50 essentially. Definitely worth considering.

Not necessarily all suitable but all plants I love!

Well if fish wrangler is confident they'll be suitable for a tank then size. I say go for It! Although expensive in initial cost, you will save money in the long run from not having to replace bulbs every 6 months to a year.
