It turned out amazing!, I love it.
That last brom I gave you really added some good color. You should drape the kyoto on the rocks.

Will the kyoto grow on the rockwall? I assumed it needed some substrate.

Yeah that one you gave me and the sara head (lower left "big" brom) are my favorites! It's funny because I just got that one from you last night - haha! So do you think they Kyoto will do well on the wall? I put it in my "green house" tank (plants only tank) and I'm still trying to learn more about the stuff before I move it.

Also, Keith (Kawickstrom) is hooking me up with a bunch of Riccia - so that will be going in soon too.

i should have specified on the big corner tank though i have a wood burning stove in the corner where the viv will be built and it will not be moved untill i do my add on so it may be a few years so dont hold your breath !

but i am going to test it out with a 10gal i have extra which i will most likely sell (i hate tiny tanks)

Yes since I grew it from a "soup" it will work on the rocks. As long as it has a thin layer of substrate it will do fine.
Im testing a new method of growing the kyoto, it should be easier than the instructions in the package.

that background looks so good that it seems like a shame to put plants in front of it..
