What are the tall grasses in the back of tanks 14, 15, and 20? I really need to
know, I'm making an Iwagumi with HC, Hairgrass and some Seiryu rocks, and I
would love to have a thing of tall grass in the back, but I think thin leafed Java
Fern would ruin the grassy, thin, hair-like look.

Now I know that you can't get Dwarf hairgrass to grow that high, unless Amano
pumped that shite with some roids... hehe

So, what plant is that? please?

I was just wondering what kind of fertilization method ADA uses. Did you ask if they use EI?

He uses his own line of products. If you buy his books or pick up an issue of Tropical Fish Hobbyist, or pick up an English version of his catalog, he lists which of his products he doses for every tank pictured.

Usually it's Brighty Step 2 (trace mix) + Brighty K (potassium) (dosed daily), and ECA (iron) (dosed weekly). Occasionally he'll also dose Brighty Lights (nitrogen + phosphorous, dosed daily). I would guess he doses Lights on tanks that don't get a lot of shade coverage from stem plans, as well as very low fish loads. I notice that he uses it on virtually all of his tanks where the primary plant used is hairgrass.

As to what levels of iron, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and traces are added with each dose, no one knows. Someone tried to ask over on the APC forums and ADA refused to answer.
