What's the trick with cabomba?
I have 40w on my 29gal. and my Cabomba grows fine.

My Cabomba actually grows bushier in my moderate-light tank, probably because it grows slower. The original poster has 30W on a 15g, which sounds like pretty low light to me. I don't know what kind of lighting is on your "moderate-light" tank, but I suspect that it's much better-lit than that. Unfortunately, I don't know of any measurement that's both easy and accurate for describing the light level in a tank. So your moderate-light might be something that I would call a high-light. Someone needs to mass-produce cheap underwater light meters to resolve the problem. :-) - Jim |
