I really like the look of Alternanthera reineckii mini. Does it definitely need Co2 to grow, or would it do alright without?

I have never tried it without CO2, that said Dennis Wong claims it can be done without CO2, but the coloration will not be as intense .

Here is an updated picture from this morning .

Looks amazing!

How many Embers do you have in there? Nice sized swarm and they really stand out against the frosted back.

What plant is this?  I really like it.

Looking pretty nice, looks like you go the hang of it ... :P ... seeing that really wants me to go out and fill up my CO2 bottles again.

Is this just plain hair grass?

be aware of the green side
