HOLY SHMOLY!!!!   Now, thats what i call green!  Looking good man.  

Question: What is that spikey looking plant on the far edge of the foreground.  There are two of them.

Re: New planted tank journal!

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.

Re: New planted tank journal!

how come you switched diffusers?

[eklikewhoa]

Re: New planted tank journal!

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.

Re: New planted tank journal!

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?

Re: New planted tank journal!

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.

Microsorum pteropus "narrow"
Hemianthus callitrichoides
Hemianthus micranthemoides
rotala rotundifolia
rotala colorata

Re: New planted tank journal!

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