If it sends out shoots again, I have no idea what I would do with them. I don't have any more room for them. My tanks are packed...
You could always sell them to me!
 
What's your secret? CO2 injection? What kind of lighting? What kind of substrate?
 
jesus. I hope mine look like that. I just got a 7 inch tall one that has three runners on it.
 
Lighting on the 110 is a double 4 foot bulb fixture on a 5 foot tank. I have T-8's in there. Not sure on the wattage.

and you aren't going to believe this, but the 55 only has a single 4 foot T-10 bulb.

Neither tank gets any Co2. Both get Kent fetilizer and twice a month water changes.
The 55 gets a lot of indirect sun. The room it's in faces East. No direct sun to the tank but the room gets a lot of natural light.

I just added some Cabomba to the 55 to see how things go.

The 110 has sand as a substrate and the 55 has very small grain gravel. Nothing close to sand, but it's closer to sand than most gravel sold in the LFS. If on a scale of 1-10, Sand was a 1 in terms of size and regular gravel a 10. This stuff would be around a 3-4 range...
