Update on my Hemianthus callitrichoides tank. Almost covered the entire area. About 2 months now.
Tank: 2ft x 1ft x 1.3ft(estimate)
Lighting: 24W x 3 tubes T5HO (8 hours daily)
Substrate: ADA amazonia only
Temperature: 26 ~ 27 degree C (with an AC fan ON 24/7)
CO2: Pressurize CO2 with an external reactor (2bps)
Filter: Atman CF900 canister filter with a surface skimmer
Fauna: 30 pieces of Mosquito Rasbora

U can try to float them in ur tank for a weeks before plant them into soil.
HC are high light demand.
