I don't know - measure your tank's back. Those measurements will help you with the sizing.

So frog bit is what layers the top and droops down . Lovely Is this a self floating plant or suspended with some sort of wire .Floating plants are also worth looking into, @seangee created a very dramatic look on his 'back to black' with frogbit
Back to black
nice, I like it. What plants did you get? Really like the tall plants at the back by the vals. Are they hygrophila? Hygrophila costata at the back. The leaves are much longer and more blade shaped than the hygrophila corymbosa I have in the smaller tanks. As soon as they have settled I will...
No co2 and intense lighting required. Plus, fish much prefer having some cover on the surface to an intense light.. depends if you put plants before fish
Yeh floats of it's own accord (think of a lilly pad), those are the roots growing down from the surface.
Self floating, no need to suspend it from a wire. You need to make sure to keep it away from the filter, as it will not grow in a high current area. (I can show you how to make a DIY floating plant separator if you like, or you can buy one.
)
I do that for my Java Moss and Anubias as well!
(Except I use Salvinia Minima.)
I like it, you've done a splendid job with the rocks and moss especially, i think it'd be worth leaving it for a good month and letting the plants grow into their space whilst cutting/replanting the taller stem plants to help thicken out. I quite like the look of leaving the front right corner side clear and building up the left side
Thank you
Hi I'm sorry, I didn't get a notification about this, only saw it because your thread had been bumped. I haven't grown from seeds before I'm afraid. But be careful where you source the seeds from. If it's a reputable aquatic plant nursery, I'm sure it's fine, but there are a lot of people on Amazon and elsewhere selling baggies of what they claim are carpeting plants, but are not, and people have bought these since they're cheap, started to get a carpet going with them, and then it all melts back and ruins the tank, and they had to tear down and start over. So just be careful of the source if you're buying seeds, especially ones claiming to make a great carpet and that are super cheap/from a random source.
Hi,
