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 .

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 ... ... seeing that really wants me to go out and fill up my CO2 bottles again.

Is this just plain hair grass?
