Hi -

Thanks. The red plant, I'm not quite sure what it is. It came in with an order from "freshwateraquariumplants.com" as a "freebe". I think it's Red Ludwiga, but I'm not 100% sure. Whatever it is, it grows well in all three tanks I've tried it in, with progressively less light, down to about 1.5 watts/gallon.

No [acronym:fc274b2b58="Carbon dioxide"]CO2[/acronym:fc274b2b58]. I used Seachem flourish for a while, which did speed up growth. Now that it's fairly grown in I don't add anything.
