HC

What is the best way to trim this stuff?

Take some scissors and go at it sideways?

Aquascape? I'm a crypt farmer.

If you've got bait, I've got wasabi!

I wish I could be like Mr. Sarcastic when I grow up! ;)

It didn't work. Ended up just pulling the whole mess up.

Someone asked me how you plant HC back. I told them you planted little clumps everywhere in your tank, and then 2 days later your fish will have pulled them all up, you cuss a lot, and start over.

I offered it all for free on the AGA web page :-)

Might have some other things after this weekend.

I've tried it a few times and lost all but the tiniest little piece. That tiny bit is actually growing, but too slowly for my limited patience! I want more!

That happened to me too. Seems it has to get very established before it will take off.

I seems to be the same way for me, I planted it in Jan. and alot of it ended up floating around in bits and pieces. What stayed rooted is just now starting to take off. But hey its easier then glosso that needs trimmed or replanted every 2 days!!!
