Plants look good but the pictures let the thread down. It needs a better picture, maybe of the whole tank?
 
keep the pics coming Hoggie, are you just relying on natural light for this one ?
Yes Tim
Natural light and I switch on a mister three times a day, for about 30 minutes early morning also at 5pm and 8pm in the evening!

Can you tell me the average temperature, and/or do you use artificial heating?
 
Hi Cor
The mister heats the water as it vibrates...there is no other heating used, only room temperature!

Great project, Hoggie! Keep posting pics of the progress! ;)
 
Cheers guys!
Will try my best to keep it updated....as it can be a tad slow growing!
The crypt sp wendtii on the right side....was a small plantlet I planted around about February time, so has done quite well.
I added a few others Crypts so will need to see if the survive going from submerged to emersed over the winter period.
The standing water can get a tad hot when the mister is on....that's why I only switch the mister on for 30mins at a time!
Cheers

Hi Hogan, The Crypts will adapt they will grow slow though. The crypts in my grandsons frog tank are doing well after 3 months with no heating It was during the summer.Still doing well even though the temp has dropped and we have not had the heating on yet will soon though As its getting a tad cold in the mornings :(

Looking forward to the updates :)
 
Hi Bud
Definitely slooooow growers....but that's the fun of growing plants emersed....you never know how long things take to develop into a nice plant!
Plus some are quite nice in the emersed state ....and you don't have algae on them.......... :woot:;):lol:
