What is the name of the ground cover at 1:43

[Kookioz]

@oakcrayfish It's most likely hairgrass, however it could be japanese hairgrass

[ThePaganbaby]

@Kookioz What are the prces of doing stuff like this I might want to start it.

[Kookioz]

@ThePaganbaby

It is not too expensive to maintain once it is up, the tank and lighting are also fairly cheap if you choose a small setup, the only real 'price' is the time you take in maintenance and if you choose to buy exotic plants.

OMG

[lopez5678]

@Limpedalong but how do the plants get on the rock? do you buy them like that ? or does it magically grow on it lool?

[Limpedalong]

@lopez5678 You have to trim it to keep it looking neat like that. Starts to grow long and a nice trim will make it nice and compact

[lopez5678]

i got a question about the tank at 1:12. the grass that is above the rock/cliffs, do you buy it like that? or do you have to somehow plant the grass on top of it to be make it look that neat?

2:48 is the most eyepleasing to me. I plan on making a close replica to that with a few modifications. I like the colors because it looks like scenery from one of my favorite movies. ^^
