    I'm going with hemianthus callitrichoides (HC) and blyxa japonica. The thing is, it's very hard to find plants local...but I think I have found some hopefuls online!! I will get pics up once this baby is planted.

    hehe eventually!!

    Finally got some HC in there...I also have some blyxa on the way. Here some some pics. This was my first time planting HC and man was it a pain. I'm so used to just placing corals on rocks..usually the corals don't just float away like HC does.

    Great look, HC is real difficult to plant and to keep in place. Once you get it figured out how to plant them in your substrate you are going to be so happy with the results.
