You may find with high light the stems will creep across the substrate so you dont really need anything in front of them, tho will need regular trimming to keep the shape (short at the front, higher at the back

I'm hoping the occurs, I'm wanting to create a nice bush of stems that I can shape.

Tanks is slowly filling in now, Cuba is starting to carpet quickly. Will try the stems again this week on maintenance. Started to get some BBA on the rocks so need to get on top on this asap.

Hi
Nice growth.
If I were U I will pull them smaller stones up a bit.It will look odd for a bit but once the carpet grows it will look more natural as now U have pretty good chances of the carpet hiding them .

looking good and growing in well, will be keeping an eye on this for tips as I have a similar setup and plant list :thumbup:

Nice recommendations I will look at that. They did get covered last time by the Cuba, I had thought about removing them.

Meant to ask, what photo period and intensity are you running the 600s at?
 
I have a dimmer on this setup, it has 16 settings. I'm on max at the moment. Going well so far.

The new twinstar 600s I bought has definitely help on the colours, hopefully it will.do the same to the Rotala.

Nice growth the last few weeks, Rotala had a big trim and now bouncing back.

Interested in doing some emersed growth on it if anyone has any ideas please?

I find that emersed growth can be burnt by being close the light. It might depend on the humidity though. Pinnatifida will grow emersed nicely if you let it.
