Very nice. What kind of lighting are you using, and what are those
little things stuck to the inside of the tank? CO2 indicators?

What are those beautiful red plants? Is the L. brasilensis and hairgrass in
the foreground?

Thanks both of ya.
Mark- Yes the little guys stuck to the side are some CO2 indicators that I
made from acrylic tubing I bought at Tap plastics. I have about 10 of them.
I have a couple in the tank cause I was playing with different indicator
solution mixes. I'm a DIY kinda guy. So take every opportunity to build
something myself.
Susan- Since the last meeting I came to I have pulled all my Micro swords.
Altho they were looking great and filling in the area, I felt they were a
little too tall of a foreground plant for this little tank and were
overwhelming. I replaced them with some Dwarf Hairgrass. The plants directly
behind the hairgrass is actually Blyxia Japonica. in the picture they look
similar to how the carpet of MS's would. But they are actually 3 stems (well
4 now) that fill in that area.
As for the reds in my tank. there are two. The one I'm guessing you are
referring to is the super bright ones in the middle those guys are
*Alternanthera
reineckii*
'rosaefolia'<http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plantfinder/details.php?id=58&category=aquascape_placement&spec=Red>
the other one I have in there are *Ludwigia
glandulosa<http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plantfinder/details.php?id=56&category=aquascape_placement&spec=Red>
.*
I will try and hold onto some of that reineckii and bring some to the next
meeting. As getting good samples of it around here is difficult. Dennys had
some but they were selling emersed clippings and they don't do well once put
back under water.*
