Limnophila aromatica

[aqua_chem]

The more I'm looking at it, the less I'm convinced it's L. Aromatica. Do you have any bigger pictures of it?

This is all I can get of it. The first is my other one. Also the person who sold it to me told me it was, it was purple when I received it now it has less color due to light I think

Are the edges of the leaves serrated?

 

[fishdud]

What do you mean?

 

[aqua_chem]

See how the edges on the leaf kind of have a jagged look?

Yeah, do you think?

 

[aqua_chem]

That one definitely looks like L. Aromatica. Are you sure that the two are the same plant?

Definitely. I'm 100% sure. This is the other one.

What do you think?

 

[aqua_chem]

I would say the top if that also looks like L. Aromatica. So I guess that leaves lighting as the issue?

Haha that's what I've been saying man. I don't think 48w total is enough for a 36 bowfront.

 

[aqua_chem]

You said this was T5HO?

 

[fishdud]

You said this was T5HO?

Yes, t5ho nova extreme. By current USA

 

[fishdud]

Will I need more light?

 

[aqua_chem]

Two things. First, I don't think they make 48w T5HO bulbs, do they? Is it 3' or 4'? Second, do you only have one bulb in a two bulb fixture.

Haha they're two bulbs in the fixture, both are 24 watts.

How deep is this tank?

 

[fishdud]

Not exactly sure, but It's a 36g bowfront if that helps. I'm not good with dimensions.

 

[aqua_chem]

Im not familiar with bowfront dimensions, unfortunately. However, uf you have two T5HOs on it, you most likely are in a high light situation.

Are you using 4 dKH solution and normal low range pH drops in your drop checker (ie not the solution they usually come with)?

Did a quick lookup and it says It's 21" deep. The bulbs consist of one pink being at 6700, and the other is a blue, not actinc being at 10,000.


And i think I am? I'm using what came with it.
