Farewell and Thanx for the advice.

Sad to say but I am calling it quits as far as freshwater live plant
keeping goes. I have seen three types of algae sweep through the tank in
a
year and now the DREADED brush algae is here. This is a fight I've lost
before. I know I should waterchange then fertilize and get some CO2 going
and
stock up with some new plants to starve it out but I'm not confident
that'll
work. I'm gonna tear down the tank on the weekend and go back to the
nutrient
poor bliss that is marine reef keeping in the spring. I just wanted to
say
thanx to everyone who has given me advice here, especially Tom Barr and
Chuck
Gadd. I've got to hand it to all you plant keepers who can pull it off!
I
thought reef was much easier and you guys got the right stuff for live
plants.
Best Regards To All

Thats quite unfortunate.
I've had many a battles with algae, thats for sure!
Planted tanks can be sooo overated.
IDEA!!!!! ?
I could help YOU.....
I'd be willing to pay for shipping (i'll even let you discount the shipping
charges) in exchange for your plants and all related paraphernalia.
What do you say.....
All I've got is a bottle of Flora Pride and some brush algae covered plants
that were in not too good of shape before the brush algae hit. Everything else
I just put away for my next big aqua scheme. Thanx anyway.
