    You sent me one, I'm pretty sure that's what it was. It's on the right side of the tank halfway back.

    I ended up removing the driftwood and planting those long green ones behind it. You really can't see them in the picture though.

    ya, that was a GIANT red wendtii (at least according to aquariumplants.com).

    <--it looked outta place in my tank (was in front middle) because the rest were shorter.

    Well, it's green right now. :) We'll see if it turns red at all. I may split it up a bit and spread it around the tank. I know the burgundy crypt I have in my 20 up north is HUGE. It goes all the way to the top of the tank.

    Do you remember what else you sent ? Identifying plants aren't my thing.

    Oh yeah, I meant to tell you... That did look like moneywort to me.

    Were there that many different things ? I'll have to go look again. I remember only seeing 3 different plants.

    Yeah, I counted and took some new pictures now that the water is pretty clear. I could only count 3. The moneywort, some type of wendtii, and then the taller stuff along the back of the tank that's green/pinkish.

    LoL Thanks, how green am I ? :cool:

    Okay. ;)

    I'm still trying to figure out if these LEDs are good enough for the plants. I noticed the grass plants have started to get some leaves that are turning clear. I'm not sure if it's from shock or what. I did notice some new growth so I'm hoping they will recover. The wisteria is growing pretty well and that's a medium light plant. :confused:

    clear leaves typically means iron/potassium defi. or not enough light.
    Try a plant tab an inch or two from the roots if you keep running into clear leaves.

    It's only on the Blyxa japonica that's doing it so I'll wait and see how they progress before I get into dosing with iron or anything.

    Right now I'm just dosing with Excel and I just started with Kent Pro Plant 2 days ago.
