Nice. My bronze gets almost that red, but not quite.
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

Great looking crypt.
Can you describe the emersed setup you are using to do this, also what substrate do you have in the pot.Houston Areas Aquatic Plant Society

Oh yeah, only the most obsessed plant geeks get into the emersed crypt setups.
It is really nice cause you can get them to flower and most do flower nicely. In fact most aquatic plants will grow even better with some emersed time, most aquatic plants will ofter grow stonger during the emersed period in nature so that it can survive the submerged period "wet season". In fact a lot of the aquatic plants that you buy are probably grown emersed, that is usually the reason the look so good when they come in and start melting a few weeks later in the store's or your tank.Houston Areas Aquatic Plant Society

Mary Beth, I will keep you posted on the progress.
Mark,Quoc, Kev and Traci thanks a lot.
Kev , here is a pic of my old 20G set up.
The substrate varies as per the Cryptocoryne sp.
This particular pot has approximately 50% used Aquasoil Amazonia + PowerSand, 25% Sand and 25% Laterite.

I now have a bigger set up with a 55G . It has a 65 W CF and 28W T5NO over it. I mist it 2 times in a day and fertilize it with Miracle Grow tabs when I see any deficiency. There is 2" water in the tank with a small pump for keeping the water moving.
A very simple set up.
Thanks

Instead of misting, would an ultrasonic fogger on a timer work in automating the misting? Or is that too much humidity?Houston Areas Aquatic Plant Society
