        Thanks man, that plant is eriocaulon cinereum.....pretty hard plant to take care of...KH has to be 4-5dKH or below for it to survive so no hard water.

            The first one was meant for a nano so the disk was really small....it was a temp thing.

            The second one was a PITA to clean.

            The Third was cheap and I got a couple of them so that I could just switch them out when it was time to clean them instead of having to wait for them to get cleaned.

                  Wow, that was fast, thanks!  
                  Any way I can bug you a bit more and ask what your current plants are? Or did you just trim and thin it out a bit?

                    I thinned out a lot and actually might tear the tank down to go with something else.

                    I am probably gonna remove the HC since I like how the other foreground plant I have looks.

                    Here goes....

                    Microsorum pteropus
                    Microsorum pteropus "narrow"

                    Hemianthus micranthemoides

                        Actually it's gonna be a re-scape.......something that has more structure to it.

                              Beautiful!

                              What is the plant in the 6th picture down from the top?

                              And do you still have the Polygonum sp. 'Sao Paulo' in there?
