Actually the Hairgrass didn't really "blow up" until I changed the photo period to full 4wpg 8.5 hours a day up till then the stuff was really just inching along. As far as the blyxa that stuff isn't as green anymore since I changed the lights. My theory: HG needs 3-4 wpg entire photo-period, blyxa needs about 2wpg with a burst of 4wpg for 4 hours. Glad someone likes it. I will be doing a minor re-scape soon.

Great growth Travis! What now? I'd love to see something a little taller in the background.

I'm planning on some moss covered manzanita for vertical interest any other suggestions would be taken into account.

I'm so jealous of your hairgrass lawn. It's perfect.

Nice looking lawn there! Well done.

Thanks for all the kind comments. I really enjoy the hairgrass too for the most part. Trimming the "lawn" is a pain in the butt and to keep it nice needs to be done at minimum every other week. This is an ordeal which requires a lot of time and is quite messy. Other than that I love this stuff. I'm probably gonna be doing hc in my next project though, a planted 10g.
