Considering a shallow tank

I already gave an some crypts and anubias. Some of the anubias is a larger variety. It might be a good cabindate to experiment with converting to emersed growth.

I think it was Fishtory (formerly known as Secret History Living in Your Aquarium) on YouTube, but I remember hearing someone say that the best way to get emergent growth from anubias was to place it submerged but just under the water line, which would let the plant naturally grow out of the water with the proper emersed leaves. I've never tried it myself, though. I can try to find the video, if you'd like.

I'll do a search for the video. It would be a good experiment for this tank.

The tank arrived today. Need to start a journal but even still wrapped in the plastic, it's pretty. Foam leveling mat included.

Wow, nice.  Can't wait to see what you do with it. 🙂
