    MH Lighting Question

    I have a 400 watt MH on the right side of a 72 bow. I have pc's on the left. Swords, apons, sprites, love the MH. Java fern does better with the pc's. Fish and plants shine under a 10,000k MH. once they get used to it.

    Ph and aeration

    I read that high PH is bad for an angels internal organs! Years ago I reared angels, and it didn't seem to be a problem. It could be the big box store where I bought them. They seemed to be ok for months, then died one at a time.

    Anubias

    I planted my anubias too deep in the substrate, and the stems started to rot. I pulled it up to the top of the substrate. The roots still look like they have life in them. Can it come back just from the roots?
