awesome, awesome, awesome! did you grow that riccia in it's place? or was it grown out in another tank and placed there? i've never been able to get it to grow well emersed. and just out of curiousity, is the "clamshell shape" at the bottom of the tank concealing the ugf? i only ask because it is the only thing in the tank which doesn't look natural.

The riccia is attached now but it was brought in healthy from a club members planted tank. I would say it took at least a month to really notice it spreading. Decent lighting is important. Using a mistking helps a lot. I run pressurized co2 on the reservoir as well just because i can.

The curve shape is plexiglass with gravel siliconed to it. it is concealing the ugf/pumpbox on the right, and the left side also contains a layer of soil below the eco complete were I have planted a group of crypt rizomes.
