Lead weights?
"Craig Brye" wrote
Does anyone use lead weights to keep stem plants from floating around? I do. Are they safe? Completely. Possibly they are not even made of lead. I recently saw some in a store, but neglected not to get any. A wise purchase :-) I'm sick of constantly having to pull up my stem plants and then replanting them in the gravel. I have to clip them every 4-5 days or they'll take over the tank. The price of success I'm afraid. I would love to just wrap a lead weight around them and drop them in. Wrap away. No problem. Different plants require different approaches. I have a mixture of : 1. Potted - Pennywort 2. Weighted - Bacopa 3. Planted - Hygro, Dwarf Sword, most others 4. Attached - Anubias, java fern A weekly trim and a monthly 'hack back' keeps mine looking dandy. Regards -- Graham Ramsay Blairgowrie (UK) www.ibrox.freeserve.co.uk/aquarium.htm |
