Looks great Blue. I don't know if you've used it before but I was told to split my hairgrass down into much smaller bits or they can die off in the middle of larger clumps. Makes planting a real pain though!!! Are they Eleocharis vivipara? What's the foreground plant too? Can't quite work out whether it's Riccia, Pelia or a moss, or something else!!!

Thanks Ed for your comments and advices. As I know quite little about aqau-plants, I am not quite sure about the english names of these species... Anyhow, i will be careful and when i find their english names, will post here as a follow-up. Thx
