What do you mean equal across the whole tank? Wasn't it before? Yeah I do like it I have done a bit of research on it and it says the tips go bright pink in high light and co2

Yeah I think it is that mate cheers it looks good I think I'm going to get some of that :) how's the tank then mate?

Very nice mate plants seem very happy and heathly what is the brown bushy plant in the 3rd picture?

Have you got your plants through yet? Funny enough I have just bought some sagittaria today I really like it, I like java moss but if you ever want to get rid of it its a nightmare lol

Yh I got it up and running will take a picture soon and of the new scape

I'm almost 100% sure they won't grow on wood mate Glad u ain't lost anymore plants I have rescaped my tank looks completely different but I love it

Very nice mate is that crypt attached to the wood? Is your gourami eating your plants?

I just have ripples on the surface in a six foot rainbow tank with pressurized co2 and I have had no problems its been set up for about 8 months now so I think that should work

Well in my experience 25gallons per adult fish is a good way to go :) glad I could help

The only time my rotala or any stem plant grew like that was when they were planted to close together

Well they can grow upto 12 inches each if not a bit bigger and I got told from a lot of people from my local aquarium, plus stores and research that you can only have upto 10 in a 220 gallon when they are fully grown but I only had 6 I didn't want to over stock

They are stunning fish though. They have such character to them

I used to own some in a 220 gallon but I kind of grew out of the idea I didn't find them interesting after about 2 years but I think everyone wants to own them at one point :)

Never complain if it has got rid of your algae :) I used to be able spot mine gently graze on it but never anything much or for long so can't comment on that. But like I said if its eating algae that's never a problem haha

I had a rainbow shark I agree they are beautiful fish but just be careful they can be very aggressive I had to move mine before it killed everything and mine was in a 125 gallon. I went with rainbow fish in the end
