Hi, this is what happened to my Pico after the comp. I had a few abortive attempts at Wabi-kusa but then decided to try a low maintainance emersed set up.
I've put a level bed of ADA amazonia in the bottom, I filled it so about 5 mm of water covers the substrate. Same 20 w desk lamp as previously.
There is glosso and HC planted, just below the water. Any new growth must break the surface. It's been set up only 4 days and already the HC has grown. Some of the glosso leaves have withered but it has also sent out several new emergant runners that look healthy.
The name relates to glacial boulders deposited in isolated positions. Known as erratics, they frequently stand on their own in a alpine meadow. My pebble came from near Snowdonia. Hopefully it will evently sit in a pico medow of HC and Glosso.
Emergant Glosso
C + C welcome, Tom
