Yep. It comes with a spraybar. Adds about an inch to the height though. But it does work very well in a taller tank. I am not running it at the moment cuz I hacked it up when I was trying to rig some CO2 up. That was a fail. I will see if I can dig up a pic for you.

Thanks man. It is growing like weeds. Needed to hack a bunch of it off though. Stupid hair algae. I need to stop slacking off on maintenance.

Thanks man. That is so true too. From now on it is going to be all dirt or Aquasoil. Not messing with anything else.

Tanks are looking nice cable! seems like everything is filling in nicely. What is the plant in the back left corner of the first tank? That is like a grassy type of plant, is it narrow leaf hygro (or something like that)? Pretty sure I ordered it once and didn't do hot in my tanks so ended up tossing it, it's a cool plant when i fills in though

Here are a couple of shots.

Post 40 and 45 for starters. I think there are a few more in that journal too.

Thanks man. That one is Hygrophyla somethingorother 'Angustifolia'. I got a couple of stems from 150 and it has taken off for me. Does pretty well in my emersed boxes too. If you ever want to give it another go, let me know. I can toss a couple clippings your way. It might work out in your 56 gallon, but you might have to grow it out a bit in a smaller tank.

Ok. Finished up the last 2 tanks today. And took a ton of pics in the process. Here goes.

10 gallon

FTS


Left side


Middle


Right side


Notacyphus


Mini Rose Moss


Crypts are doing really well in this tank.


At least 3 plantlets are growing from this one.


Clown Pleco "hiding"


Another crypt plantlet.


Shrimptopia

FTS


Left side


Middle


Right side


Random shrimp shots.














Emersed containers

Container 1











The random moss that ended up in here is still growing.


H. corymbrosa 'Angustifolia'




C. wendtii 'Tropica'


Anyone know what this plant is? It randomly started growing in my HC.




Container 2







All the crypts I got from Chad a while back are growing like crazy in here. I need to get some ID's one of these days.


That is all for now.

P.S. - Go check out my moss jars for something pretty cool.
