Water sprite is an easy-to-grow, aquatic fern with dense foliage that provides excellent shelter for small fish and fry. It can be grown traditionally planted into substrate or used as a floating plant. Water sprite grows fairly quickly when given plenty of nutrients under low to medium lighting. It is often confused with water wisteria because of their complex leaf texture and bright green color. However, water sprite has a more thin, lace-like leaf structure, whereas the leaves of water wisteria are a little more broad and sturdy.

How to Plant Water Sprite in Aquarium 

1. Remove the potted plant from plastic basket, and split the rock wool in half.
2. Carefully remove the plant roots from the rock wool, and make sure to remove all the small, yellow fertilizer balls. Wash off any remaining debris.
3. Use planting tweezers or your fingers to plant each stem deeply, at least 2 to 3 inches into the ground, which means the substrate may cover some of the bottom leaves.
4. Don’t plant the stem plants all in a single bunch but rather individually with a little space between so that the roots have some room to grow.
5. If the plant keeps popping out of the ground, try inserting the stem at an angle or wrap a plant weight at the bottom of the stem to keep them anchored. If the stems have no roots, some people will float them at the surface until they develop roots and then plant them into the substrate.

How to Grow Water Sprite Aquarium Plant

— Aquarium plant water sprite care is very easy, so start by using low to medium lighting between 10-35 PAR to prevent "leggy" stems (where the bottom portion of the plant starts dropping leaves). 
— Why is my water sprite plant melting? This stem plant is grown out of the water at the farm. Once the plants arrive to us, we begin the process of converting them to their underwater form. The plant you receive may be half-converted and still need time to adjust to life under water. To help speed up the transition, provide plenty of light and nutrients to encourage new leaves to sprout as the old leaves melt away. Consider floating the stems at the surface until it grows more roots and can be easily planted into the substrate.
— Why is my water sprite turning yellow or brown? If your stem plant is getting enough light, it may be a nutrient deficiency, so measure the nitrate level using a multi-test strip. Dose with Easy Green all-in-one fertilizer until the water has 20-50 ppm nitrate. 
— How to trim water sprite: If the plant is too tall or the bottom half of the stem has lost its leaves, prune off the top portion and replant it.

How to Propagate Water Sprite

Stem plants can be easily propagated by trimming off the top half of the plant and replanting it in another location. The original plant will continue growing upwards from where it was cut and may even create multiple branches.

Great Resource to Have on hands for Security Analysts
Format: Paperback
Great Resource to Have on hands for Security Analysts. I have been using many of the techniques described in this book over the past few years but this book expanded on that knowledge a bit more than I was used to. It's great because it has all of the most common things one would typically run into on their day-to-day job as a security analyst. Not completely comprehensive but that's not the purpose of this book.

Great book
Format: Paperback
Nice companion to the RTFM. I have been in INFOSEC for a while and I found most of the book to be somewhat generic. My feelings may not apply to everyone else though. There seems to be an idea out there that everyone in INFOSEC sits around grepping Snort logs and/or TCP dumps; this simply is not the case. As an incident first responder the job is fairly straight forward: isolate and collect the logs. Everyone has their own methods I guess. Some OS'es require you leave the system connected before collecting logs this book does not cover that aspect. Not everyone can afford a SANS course so in that respect this condensed field guide is a plus+. Simply put; you cannot afford to not have this book. A must buy.

Five Stars - Version 2 update very nice
Format: Paperback
Update - version 3.0 has soooo much more depth. Really nice update. Solid info, brief and informative, wide coverage on incident issues. Bought a second copy recently (gave away #1), have read through it, and the update does improve wording, fixes the few spelling errors someone complained about in V1, and has great packet header charts in the back. Got my copy autographed at a SANS conference to boot! I hear there are more titles in the series planned with a few underway.

Incredibly Useful. Repurchased for version 2.0
Format: Paperback
I was recommended this Handbook by an Incident Responder with over 10 years experience (whom was also recommended it within his professional network). I've been utilizing version 1.0 of this handbook for almost 3 months now and, I must say, it's the perfect field manual not only for Incident Responders but for any class of Information Security Professional. Back in college I started crafting a reference manual of my own wishing I had something like this. I'm happy to see that I wasn't the only person when I was recommended this Handbook. Initially my only wish was for it to have had reference diagrams for common packet headers. However, shortly after that I learned of version 2.0. For that reason, I immediately purchased version 2.0.
