How was the transition from submersed to emersed?

The transition from submerged to emersed was smooth. The plants took off right away. I have four pots planted with Cryptocoryne 'Pahang Barat'. There is one pot in the front left side, another one pot in the middle/center, and two pots in the rear right side.

An amazing plant, as is the norm for plants in your collection! I can't wait until I'm in AZ and have my emersed rack built!

Thanks for the positive comment. Arizona awaits you.

Submersed spathe for comparison. I just cut this one out of my tank today. Second time the same pahang barat has bloomed for me in the past 3 months.

Thanks for sharing the nice pictures.
