Hi All,
I purchased a Mr Aqua 12g awhile ago from Exotic Aquatics after being inspired by Aww's iwagumi http://www.aquariumlife.com.au/showt...-(Mr-Aqua-12G) tank
Initially, I wanted a simple layout consisting of stones and HC much like Aww's above. Then off I went to Exotic Aquatics and bought all the HC he had and attempted a dry start since it's been all the rave lately. After a few weeks with limited growth I decided to flood the tank as my hands got itchy.. The HC began to propagate pretty quickly after that. With the HC spreading in the tank, I became bored and felt that with the cash I've spent on CO2 gear I wanted to play with a few more plants. For the last few weekends I've been heading to Subscape and Exotic Aquatics to stock up on a variety of plants and I am pretty happy with the current results although I think it'll be a b***h to maintain those stems.
