If that hygro is anything like mine it will take off with the co2 but it really sucks up nitrates too.... I can cut all mine down to half the tank's height (tank is 18" tall) and within a week I have to prune again because it's blocking light from the other plants because it's grown to more than the height of the tank again and all bunching up around the surface.

Thanks
Lol, I always wanted to go with a Buddha Theme and just finding the Buddha was like finding a needle in a haystack. Rocks big or small don't appeal to me a lot and too many people use Rocks in their scapes as it stands. I just wanted a different look, not the same look that 1/2 a dozen others have. Other themes I considered were Egyptian(Sphinx or Pyramid) or Inca(Pyramid), or the Indian Totem Pole theme. Lol, since my strength in scaping seems to be the Jungle Look, I thought such theme would blend in nicely with the jungle look and give it some character.
Yeah, that is hygrophilia polysperma and it has already grown to the surface of the tank in a matter of 4 days. I will have to trim it this weekend. One of the reasons I got a 15 gallon high was in the hopes of giving the hygro enough room so it would not take over the surface too quickly. Unfortunately, that is not working. I think that the hygro is probably best reserved for a low light tech where the growth is slow enough that it would take it weeks if not months to overtake the surface. In my low light tank, the hygro is growing at a snail's pace but I don't mind.
Thanks again.
