Your hairgrass field has filled in nicely! The hardscape blends in really well, which seems like a lot of people (myself included) have trouble with.

Have you thought about adding a reddish accent plant?

Thanks! Actually, the plant in the center of the tank is a red tipped plant. I forget what the exact name is though...

WOW! I've never been able to get DHG to fill in as quickly as yours has. Kudos for sure. The blyxa looks wonderfully healthy and GREEN. For some reason, my blyxa has a reddish tint to it and although it's pretty in it's own way, I really want the bright green look that yours display.

That stem in the center kinda looks like ludwigia arcuata to me. I've tried my hand at that one before and unlike my blyxa, it never retained it's red.

Lookin good!

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.

Well took some pictures tonight. This is the full tank shot 13 weeks after initial planting. I've added some Manzanita since last pic and am contemplating adding discus to this tank and putting the briggittae in one of my smaller tanks.

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