Anyway, is there supposed to be an arowana in there somewhere?

Huh..... she is hiding behind the plants. I have the best of both worlds... arowana tank and planted tank with SAE, tetra, yamato, and even cherry red shrimps!

With chiller and strong lights... the hairgrass will grow very fast.

WOW michael you hair grass is great.... Mine is lousy now.... had a dammed irrating Apisto in the tank that kept pulling my hair grass out.... cant catch the little bugger..... dammed......

Yes with a good chiller. the hairgrass will grow fast..... remember to comb the hair grass

I think tats the case coz mine will turn yellow when my co2 lvl falls...when i up the co2, then after a few days it improves....

It is 6 ft. Using reactor placed in the sump tank. It took me almost 3 month from sparse planting to reach the lush.

Using PL lights.

To have 1 focal point... I need a island concept cos it is quite a big tank. I created 2 focal points to try to form a "U" scape. Thanks for your feedback.

Hi,

Great looking hairgrass you have there. Really makes me wanna grow some in my cory planted tank. But scare the cories cannot find food and I cannot see them.

Cheers,
Lawrance

hello,
very nice setup u got there~!
just a question,when u first started planting the hairgrass, do u have leave any space in between the hairgrass?
how long does the hairgrass need to cover the whole foreground?

Yes...I left spaces among them. Took them 3 months before they reach this stage. Very slow because they are very fine. Need a lot of patience.... once they cover the whole ground...very satisfying.


Now I got snail problem... but I have got cherry shrimps and they are re-producing now...so I can't put in any ram to control the snails.
