Aquarium Advice Newbie
Jchillin wanted to know what plants I have so here goes....
Alternanthera reinickii.....going OK....seems to grow slow
Lysimachia nummularia.....grows slow but is in top condition
Valisneria spiralis.....growing like a weed and always sending off runners
Blue Stricta (not sure of scientific name)....growin like a weed and I am always splitting/pruning it
Ambulia sessiflora.....recovering after I pruned too heavily but seems OK now (I thought it was going to die)
Hygrophila difformis.....growing like a weed along the bottom of the tank
Ludwigia arcuata.....new plant.....growing like a weed so far. Pruned for the first time this weekend
Rotala rotundafolia.....beautiful plant....always trimming
I have another one which grows randomly, medium sized red-green leaves, fasst growth. Can't remember its name.
I have 96watts of compact fluorescent 6500/10000K lighting on a 30gal tank (3.2 watts per gall).
I am running DIY CO2 to maintain the CO2 at approx 20-25ppm
I fertilise weekly with Ferropol (contains only trace elements)
Substrate is fine gravel......
Thats all for now
