Yowza. I doubt anything would be able to loop around enough in my tank to acheive such lengths. I'll let you know tho, I've got some val that's doing an inch a day. 
How big is your biggest plant? (Pic)
So after getting sick of pruning the hornwort every few days, I've decided for now to remove it from my 20g, and boy does my tank look a lot brighter! I knew it was fast growing, but I wonder if it would grow forever... Here's a pic of it as of 10 mins ago, it went from about 2 feet to it's current 5 feet in a WEEK! Anyone else have some record breaking lengths for hornwort or any other plants? I feel like it would be a waste to throw it out, so now it's in a 5 gallon tank. :icon_lol: I am wondering how much light it was blocking for my other plants...
Hornwort, I frown at thee.

If I remember correctly, it was about 40" including the flowers when I pulled it out this summer. What you see is approximately one week's growth.
Some more shots of it in my fifteen gallon:

An amazingly beautiful plant, and easy to grow too... I don't know more people with large tanks don't use it.

OK, here it is... a three foot wide tank. And easily four foot long leaves, probably some close to 5 feet. 1.5 year old Crinum calemestratum. The blood red stem in the middle is a flower I cut which was going a foot above the tank, but was burned by the T5s on the way up. Its been leaking O2 at the cut for over a week and a half... Presently its having two or three babies at its bulb.

Thats 22" from substrate to waterline. The plant is easily 36", I measured it a few days ago.

My Crinum is out of control. That's a 110 gallon and the plant is easily > 7' long by now.
