Hello everyone! First, I'd like to say that this forum has been very helpful in helping me further enhance my planted tank, so thanks to all. Nevertheless, I'm planning on carpeting Staurogyne repens in my 30 gallon long (36" x 12" x 16"). I want to make this plant carpet into a bushy carpet that doesn't get too tall. I've failed with HC and Dwarf Hairgrass, so I want to get it right this time. I have good medium light (T5 HO) and I dose PPS-Pro with Flourish Excel. I plan on getting this plant from Peabody's (8 stems I think for $7.50), and I'm wondering how much I should purchase from them to get a good start. How long should I leave this plant alone for once planted? How should I make this plant spread horizontally, or encourage the bushy appearance? Here is picture of my tank for reference:
As you can see, my foreground is lifeless, and I'd like to change that! Give me as much information as possible! Thanks!
