Troy's tank
One other thing... Leigh is right, the Hygro is the only plant that has
even grown "nuts" in my tank... No matter what, I'm trimming 3-4" off those every month.... Anyone want some!? I've got plenty to spare!! Troy "LeighMo" wrote in message ... I sent that message before I intended to. :-P Anyway, those are pictures of Troy's plants. Looks like Hygrophila and Anubias (the one with the big leaves). Rotala, maybe, behind and to the left of the Anubias? He says it's a 27 gallon tank, with a 96 watt PCF light over it. He injects CO2: pH=6.8-7.0; KH = 5. He doesn't think his plants are thriving, but I dunno. That Hygro's taken over the tank! There is a bit of algae on the plant leaves, though. Troy, you have plenty of light and CO2. If your plants aren't growing well, it's probably a nutrient problem. Do you know what your nitrate level is? In a high-light CO2-injected tank, it's not unusual to have to add nitrate. You might take a look at this page, if you haven't seen it: http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/art_plant_nutrient.htm BTW, don't worry if your Anubias isn't growing very fast. They never grow fast. Most people plant them in low-light tanks, or in slightly shaded parts of bright tanks. Otherwise, they tend to get algae on their leaves. Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |
