Thanks so much for the pxs. Looks like a wonderful place! Did anyone bring back any plants?!! I didn't see anyone with baggies filled with plants. That sunset hygro was amazing! Enjoyed your humor Niko! lol

I got some Hygro, Cabomba, Riccia, Water Chestnut, and even Water Hyacynth. Hydrilla came as a hitchhiker on the Hyacynth's roots. I'm really sorry I didn't keep the moss that you see on the pictures. It was a cool or coldwater moss that had adapted to live at 72 degrees and I tossed it back in the water dismissing the possibility of it growing in a warm water tank.

After seeing how dense and healthy the Cabomba grew in the Springs and river it's pretty tempting to make a Cabomba-only tank. It has such a soft texture that the extra work to keep the tank in shape seems worth it.

One thing that I think I saw where crypts. Close to one of the low pressure spring clusters there was a group of plants on the bottom that where not V. gigantea. The leaves where covered with white sand and because of the depth (about 12') the plants where not very obvious. In any case we didn't see any Crypts in shallow waters.

Too bad you weren't able to get the crypts. I'd love to see a px of the hygro in your tanks lights. It looked so red in the pxs. I will be interested to see if it stays as red in your tank.

Maybe after you put them in your tank you could take a px?..

Niko,
thanks for posting, I will have to add some of my pics later. If anyone gets a chance swing by and visit this place, it was well worth it.
