Li@m Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So i saw this glass Thing in Melbourne and brought it and decided to do an emersed setup with fluorite Black as the base. I was going to use Hemianthus umbrosum as the main foreground/carpet plant, i might use xmas moss on the rock and put a few red stems at the back behind the rock. Any comments welcome..

Li@m Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Ive Been a little slack with updating this project. Today.. The hair grass and crypt were a little slow to take off because they were orginally submerged. But the HU wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 that's really cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 That grew quick. Is it hard to keep it humid in there? Or do you just let it do whatever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li@m Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 That grew quick. Is it hard to keep it humid in there? Or do you just let it do whatever? It gets sprayed/watered once or twice a day. I glagwraped the front opening for the 1st week when i transfered the start grass and Crypt from my main tank.

alanmin4304 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hemianthus umbrosum is good in terrariums but does not do well submersed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
