Here are a couple of photos of my 3g picotope with a decent carpet of marsilea minuta. This tank has ADA Aquasoil Amazonia II as a substrate with marsilea minuta, ludwigia repens narrow-leaf, water lettuce, water moss, and watermeal (not on purpose...). There are some micro swords and java moss mixed in along the bottom. The only intentional fauna are red cherry shrimp.
I've had an on-going battle with green water in this tank, so please excuse the slightly-cloudy water (this is after a double 90% water change) and please ignore the green spot algae in places on the glass (I couldn't get it all off on account of the curved glass). I don't dose any ferts here and it's lit with a 18W CFL in a finnex reflector lamp. This is likely the cause of my green water; I know I tried a 13w a while back and I wasn't terribly happy with it, but I don't remember why. Oh well Maybe I'll try a 13W again...
Thanks for looking!
