Default Post a pic of your emersed setup.

I'm interested to see the different type of plants every one around the world are growing the emerse way.

Please post a pic and some details about your set up.

As of right now I'm growing HC emersed for a 6 foot, its taking a bit longer to grow submerge for some reason.

Here is my emersed grow out setup. Its just a seed tray and top with sand and dirt mixed in. its got a couple of CFL over it ans a T-12 tube. Sorry dont want to get under tank to get at bulbs. I left out the boring plants photos. Went with my favs, well whats left of them after some selling off.


Ranunculus
Under tank shot lights come on at night when the tank lights turn off

Full shot

crypt. Tropica

Ranunculus

And the mystery moss that I am calling nano "moos". I have no idea if its aquatic or not? I will be trying to get it to grow on stainless steel so i can throw it in a tank and see how it does. other wise its imposible to attach or plant it as its way way to small.

Default emersed

Here are my emersed grown plants. First I did not have a place for them in the tank anymore, so I plant them in soil, put them on a window and voila.

Echinodorus ozelot green and Anubius barteri



Echinodorus parviflorus tropica



ozelot again



Cryptocoryne wendtii green



Anubias barteri

It's just a small bowl filled with nutritive substrate (with an upper layer of sand) in a bigger bowl filled with water. Water level is high enough to keep substrate wet.
All plants were taken from a paludarium so they already had their emersed leaves.

In the beginning, I changed the water almost daily... then I neglected this setup a little bit and cyanobacteria came and spoilt it...
My fault...
