      Little Update : I thought that the anubias grew too thick.. decided to chop em up into smaller pieces. Aside from that, growth isint that much of a difference compared to submerged growth. ( Approx 4 growing leaves from the past 5 days .. When submerged i get 2-3 leaves every 3 days with co2 , fert, excel ..) What caught my eye was the curling up of leaves and the whitening of leaf tips. And no they are not variegated anubias althought i wish they are XD 100$ for 5 leaves >_
      As for Eleocharis parvula, im getting minimal growth.. co2 and fert definately give a better growth rate..

      Hydrocotyle tripartita is giving similar growth rates to as when it was submerged.. Seems to be doing well though no trouble of any kind.

      ( Hygrometer : 23.5 degrees celcius 88% humidity, 78% min. )

      Update: Ok.. my plants are really starting to whiten up now XD... I looked into -stuff- and found that the whitening is due to *Sun Burn* xD.. looks like my light is too strong..?? I believe its 1 watt leds and 40 of em. so 40 watt led~ ( On a 10 gal but that doesnt matter considering there are no water. ) Anyways im going to switch a light and see how things go.
