algae all over
I have some anachorous (sp) even it has algae growing on it.
what should I plant besides the swords? Anacharis tends to be best in cool water. Goldfish temps. Let's see, you said you had 110 watts over 65 gallons, right? That's still low to moderate lighting. You might try some Hygrophila. Either H. polysperma or H. difformis. It's a nice, fast grower that doesn't need super-bright light. For other choices, look at the medium light selections on this list: http://faq.thekrib.com/plant-list.html Low-light plants are also okay, but they often don't help much with algae control. They grow too slowly. IMO, a moderate light tank is a good choice. A high-light, high-tech, CO2-injected tank can be a bit overwhelming for a newbie. And it's a lot more work, even for the experienced. But you can still grow a lot of plants with moderate light, a lot more kinds than would be possible in a low-light tank. A moderate light, non-CO2 injected tank can be the best of both worlds. Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |
