Heres an updated picture of the tank. Excuse the poor shot. I mostly wanted to show what I have been working on with the Riccia. I call it a "Riccia tree". It's of a piece of manzanita wood and hairnet. I take the hair net and attach it to the wood then I place the wood by jamming the end into the substrate- which seems enough to hold it down. Then I take the Riccia and let it go under the hairnet. It tends to float up to the hairnet. Eventually it starts to grow through it and become what it is. I trim it back like a bonsai tree. The only thing to watch out for is not to let the Riccia grow too thick. I got busy and didn't trim it for a while and it almost all floated to the surface with the wood still attached to it.
The background midground is coming along, but the foreground is not really doing much. I'm having trouble with the HC. Most of it came out and got stuck in my filter intake. I keep replanting it, but it grows so slow that I think it gets upset by the Corie's before it has a chance to root to the substrate. There is one spot though where is has attached and it is slowly creeping along.
