Eleocharis sp :thumbup:

Christmas moss for sure :)

Another option is to re-tie the moss on bits of slate - mine did really well on this :thumbup: DSC_0641 by DigitalDream3, on Flickr DSC_0638 by DigitalDream3, on Flickr DSC_0557 by DigitalDream3, on Flickr DSC_0556 by DigitalDream3, on Flickr

That's good to know :) I only want a few bits dotted about so should be ok all being well.

Thanks Ian, that's good to hear... Hopefully when it goes in tomorrow it will soon pick up with some yummy nutrients and co2 and go a nice green :)

Yes that what I was going on, other types have been a nice lush green.

that's what I'm thinking... from a very well known sponsor as well.

Hi, I decided to try out a bit of flame moss so went for the 1-2 grow... its arrived looking a bit yellow though! surely this should be a nice green and fresh as a daisy? can't help but think I'm off to a bad start with this variety :thumbdown:

I have heard that if the rhizome is cut then this could cause problems with some shrimp.

Don't cover the whole bulb or it will die, try to get just under half of the bulb in the substrate.... Any roots should so get a good grip and hold it in.

Correct, it tends to go more red under stronger lighting.

Aqua Essentials get my vote for quality and excellent service! Decent prices to match as well :)

Have you had a look on The Green Machines website? They have plants categories for different setups.

Hmmm, a tricky one, looking at those pink-ish stems they could be 'petchii' :snaphappy: I'm probably wrong though.

Yep, deffinately mini pelia :thumbup:

Yes sounds like you have the green type to me.

I would put it in a clear jug of near to tank temperature water as you can, in daylight even better - this can be prone to melting during transit, so every little bit helps :thumbup:

Now this does sound very interesting and a fantastic experiment - would be good to see photos of the fast develpments when you can show them George :thumbup:

Very nice George, so do we get to see more of your new creation yet then? From the tiny pic I can see on Facebook it looks good :thumbup:

I always thought that if this was trimmed part way down it could die off unless it is well established?

Is this what you are after? http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/aquafle ... -5482.html

Re: Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba'/Substrate/New tank set Thanks for your advice Viktor. I did not realise it was best at a lower temperature. I'm thinking about some E.parvula mixed in with the HC or now just E.parvula on its own? Decisions dicisions....? I'm drawing more to the idea of...

Re: Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba'/Substrate/New tank set Yes that does look very nice substrate... very pricy though! how many liters do you think to cover a Rio 180 generously?

Re: Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba'/Substrate/New tank set Cheers for the info Ian, that will help me :thumbup: your tank is looking great now. I am so glad to be getting shot of the corner tank, its been a pain, but in a good way as I have learned allot about flow etc, having said that...

Can any of you advise or give me some useful pointers for some of my below concerns & questions? I am changing from a 180l corner tank to a Rio 180. 1. I am going to be changing my tank over in the next week or so, I will be using my existing mature Ehiem 2075 on my new tank and this has been...

Hoggie, they look very healthy! any other secrets to get the moss like that?

Thanks Bob, that would be great if you can :thumbup:

This is how it looks at the moment anyway...

Thanks again Tom, I think I'm just going to leave it as it is - I would hate to destroy it all :-(

I'm a bit confused here now - some are saying trim it down, yet I am sure I read somewhere on the net that trimming can kill it off?

Cheers Tom, I will just leave it as it is then, its about 70mm high in places and looking a bit wild though! :jawdrop

Can anyone advise me if ‘Echinodorus tenellus’ should be trimmed down as you would do with ‘Eleocharis parvula’

Hi Sam, 'Anubias' and 'Java Ferns' are ok in a Discus tank too.

£19.99?

It looks like 'Limnophila Sessiliflora' to me ;-) Cheers Gary

So is it best to attach this to my redmoor wood very thinly and let it spread or can bigger clumps be tied on?

Thanks for that a1Matt & Tom, very, very helpfull. Cheers, Gary.

Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone can help me here - I have some Tropica Vesicularia ferriei 'Weeping' moss coming tomorrow, however my redmoor wood that it is to be attached to is still in soak in a tub in my shed, as I am waiting for it to sink (could be another week) What is the best way to...
