I've seen many of your tank pics, and I must say that a large number of them are beautiful, especially because the greens are off-set by a few reds here and there.
I was wondering what I could do to keep some of my red plants as red as the first day I got them. The red in my Rotala indica and macandra are slowly becoming a green/red color. In fact, more green than red. Is there anything I can add to allow the red to show more? I've got ~3watts/gallon. I don't add any type of fertilizer. I use Eco-complete as my substrate and Flourish excel for my carbon source. Do I need to raise my nitrates to bring out the color?
Any suggestion is appreciated.
