Hey all,

Under med light, current, c02, and EI dosing...

And a closeup. This was last trimmed much lower via mowing and you can see it grows back very well.

Hey all,

Well, several weeks later with no trimming and this is what I have now...

The plant is totally algae and detritus free due to the high flow it gets. It constantly sways like a sea grass and is really attractive IMO.

I really like the combination with the darker/heavier anubias coffeefolia and this combination will figure prominently in my next scape.

I will trim it soon but is so pretty this way I had to let it grow out to see what happened.

The color/shimmer on this plant is just beautiful but I can't really capture it. Looks better in person is all I can say...

Take care.

Under the high flow required to keep it clean do you notice any pearling?

These are the things I like to see. The grass in your tank is just beautiful.

Hi,

No I do not. But when trimming during c02 period and all flow is off, I will see pearling from any cut blades....

Thanks so very much for the nice compliment... I like the plant very much indeed...
