@ Ashwin,
Thanks..
The front glass is 1.5" height and now I have the front portion covered completely so that I can cover the complete setup with plastic cover.
Every week, I open the plastic cover to allow fresh air inside.
Once the plants get accumulated to the external atmosphere (outside water) I would remove the plastic cover and then the front glass. So will have only the 1.5" height glass. The setup would be entirely open after that.
@ Rahul,
Oh good. What plants are you growing emersed? |

| Just started with HC Cuba, HM and Hydrocotyle Sibthorpiodes. Planning to introduce some crypts, but space is a constrain. |
