Hello everyone
I would like to open a journal with some unusual and rare plants.
Sorry for bad pictures, all of them from my mobile phone, as I don't have a camera yet.
I moved to other country and managed to get my plants with me.
Please do not ask me how I did that. 😉
It was very hard, and expensive way.

From this in London

Interesting in that you are using so much light & 24 hours of C02!

Hi
Yes I start to do this way when I came to Ukraine. I find out many hobbyist in Ukraine are doing about co2 this way. And I was thinking why? Then I tryed to do same way, to see how is going to be? I would say for me it's helps and very good way. I didn't try yet for a long time, I am not going to say that is good way. And yes I have Twinstar nano in the tank. When I got my plants, from friends. All my plants were half melted and full of everything, algae, snails. But now I am happy for all results. My plants looking good.

Hi Alan
Am I right in thinking that it was you selling your plants via theaquatank.com ? And that therefore plants won't be available from there anymore..?

Where woudl I be able to get some of these rarer plants?

Your plants do look great, do you think the twinstar is helping, in fact do you know how the twinstar works?

I set up two tank in same time one for stems and other one for ferns, mosses and bucephalandras. For ferns tank I have only 4 T5 x 39 watts. The same water changes all the same only less lighting. And honestly I have lots of algae in it.

Sorry for my pic.

And I put twinstar from my first tank to it as well. I will let you know how is going to be. I would say if you try this personally, and then you can say about it.

I also was selling my rare plants regularly and no one complained about quality of plants.
And I did tried this product because on Twinstar web page it was saying that Twinstar, promote plants to grow. I am not going to say anything, personally am happy to use Twinstar.

I love them. didnt realise they were separate sp. lol. are they hard to keep ?

Honestly this two sp. not too difficult. But some of the other Erios grows very difficult.
They like lots of lightings, lots of co2, regularly adding nutrients also water quality.
