Thanks for the info LeighMo. I will be getting CO2 for sure after my move.
Your tank has some pretty Red Lotus. I have to get some of these after I
move. Do you have any green ones in your tank somewhere or just the red
ones?

I have a lot of
open water space and have a 4 x 65 CF Coralife fixture. 2 10000K & 2
6500K
bulbs.

You've got almost 3.5 watts per gallon. With that much light, you must
have
CO2. If you can't inject CO2 right now, remove or turn off two of the
bulbs.

Red tiger lotus will grow well in your tank, once you start injecting CO2.
They are heavy root feeders. In addition to the Seachem Flourish tabs you
currently have, you may have to give them some Jobe's spikes, too. (Or
something with nitrate and phosphate.)

I have a tank much like yours, and I've found these to be easy plants to
keep.
But they get huge. You may find three or four of them are too much,
unless
they are the only plants in the tank.
