Needs more help!
I think I’m suffering from some kind of deficiency in the emergant plants, particularly the Hydrocotyle species. Mosses doing fine.
Leaves seem to be yellowing. There were some aphids but seem to have delt with them but still got yellowing.
Same plants grow well above...
Looks fantastic, can’t wait to see it planted up. Why not some shrimp? In a mature, well planted tank, they need virtually no care and add some movement.

Thanks, I seem to remember having some R.Wallichi in my big tank back then, a lot of the stem plants seemed happy to grow out of the top of that tank. It was probably a cutting from that. This is going back to 2009 now!

Foxfish and zozo, thanks for all the great information.
Was on Pinterest and found some of my old Wabi kusa. Seems I managed to get a number of things growing in room air. Certainly species like Hydrocotyle, Rotala and Hygrophila seem pretty resilient as long as the roots stay wet.
Can...
Thanks Marcel, excellent knowledge!
The small amount of Java fern I tried did die back but the rhizome is putting out new leaves, so I’m hopeful.
I’m also trying some Bolbitis but I just trimmed that back to the rhizome straight away.
Can you recommend a hygrometer, there seem to dozens on...
Can anyone advise on Humidity I should be aiming for?
Hygrometer in tank reads in the mid 70%. Is that humid enough?

Impressive DOY skills! I’m finding that I can only get around 70% humidity with my open top Pali. Guess it can be affected by temp from lights, air circulation and amount of wet surface for water to evaporate from. Good luck [emoji106]

Thanks mort, I’m probably OK with that. I like the contrast between the green above water and the bare rocks below. I’m going to have a few anubias underwater but nothing else. I’m going to fert the water, as this will fertilize everything. T

Thanks Darrel, I’m hoping the emergant growth will out run algae in the race for nutrition, given it has unrestricted access to CO2.
Added some Hydrocotyle verticla to the Wall, it usually goes like crazy.

Hi,
Was wondering how to get the best out of my emersed growing plants in my pallidarium set up https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/the-falls-dooa-wall-60.55928/
I’ve got a dimmer now for the twinstar light, running at 50% seems to cause a lot less desiccation. Thus I was wondering if I...
Great set up! Some things thrive on neglect! Do you get any baby splash tetras? Seen them the other day in a LFS, really interesting species
