Ran into this today. Really neat and interesting project: using a huge mass of floating Dwarf Riccia to grow emersed HC and Hairgrass. Planted Aquarium Tank Articles - Emersed Hemianthus Callitrichoides (HC) and Hairgrass - Project Aquarium Awesome.

I've never used a drop checker, but have you guys seen those "double check" Cal Aqua ones? Instead of using one as a reference, if one used different KH solutions on each one should be able to a better idea of how much CO2 they have with minimum/maximum limits. (Say, I have one at the standard...

Just pinched off like 10 of this size, which will grow out fast if you let it. That quarter seemed a good idea at the time (in my room light it looks brown for some reason). Rounder and maybe prettier leaves with lower light. One of my favorite plants! Like almost all stems, you can also...

So I picked up the glass/ceramic diffusor sold by Dr Fosters and Smith, and its definitely attractive, but emits a white-noise-like sound when diffusing CO2. This is definitely the diffusor and not a leak before that point. Is this simply the reality of forcing gas through ceramic, or are...

So I've been away from the hobby for a while, and in the year and a half interim had a 40 gallon regular, 192w CF, new but opened Aquasoil, and some driftwood set up. I wanted a paludarium I could grow cool plants and maybe flower an aquatic plant in. (I've never flowered anything except P...

>20 stems of regular R. rotundifolia. These stems were used when I was building plant mass and was overdosing, so new growth looks nice green and lush while old growth looks average. This plant can get orange reds with lower nitrate and are maybe the best/most practical stem to practice...

Been away from the hobby for a while and don't have anything I can trade, though will be offering Bacopa "Colorata" in a while. I'm really looking to cash in on old trades :) I am stocking a 40gal. Want: Crypt wendtii "Green Gecko" Crypt wendtii "Mi Oya" or "Tropica" C. lucens or willisii or...

I don't need much. Offering a variety pack of trimmings in trade, including Bacopa sp. "Colorata." Thank you.

It's at least 8" tall, with ~2" of the top grown emersed. Big plant you hardly if ever see traded. Good for the hobbyist with high light/CO2/etc and collectoritis. You will get trims of various stuff too, most rare-ish. $5 shipped USPS Priority or open to trades. Thank you.

>5 Ludwigia brevipes >5 Rotala macrandra "Green." (What I got it as. Might be Rotala macrandra v. narrow-leaf "Green.") Eichornia diversifolia 2 golfballs of emersed Java Moss couple common Crypts $5 shipped Priority. Willing to split the plants. Open to trades for any neat plant I do not...

This is going to be a pain to pick apart, but if you want some cool plants... Pictured is a floating mass that has at least Eichhornia diversifolia, Rotala rotundifolia "Colorata," R. sp "Vietnam," R. macrandra "Green," HC, Ludwigia brevipes, and L. inclinata in it. I'm pretty sure there's R...

If chelated Fe falls out faster as KH rises, how long will Fe stay available in 0 KH? Is it feasible that one could dose traces once a week? Anyone tried this, and if so, did you see Fe deficiency? Thank you.

Received Plantex CSM+B in a nice container and saftey bagged shipped overnight from Rich. Little hassle with FedEx but not his fault. Thanks Rich!

I am looking for regular CSM+B to weigh. I am not looking for CSM+B plus Extra Iron. I need slightly more than 1 levelled tablespoon. Offering R. rotundifolia "colorata," R. "Vietnam", R. wallichii, Xmas moss, L. repens "Rubin" (emersed) and/or L. brevipes in trade.

Is it alright to run ~20ft of CO2 tubing from the needle valve/manifold to the diffusor? Is there some a length limit? Can typical CO2 tubing be painted with latex? Thank you.

I have a 10g softwater tank with terrible greenwater. I usually run 58w CF and it gets some ambient sunlight -- this is similar to my other tanks. Blocking sunlight and lowered lighting does not resolve it. Past blackouts for 2 days have not either. So, attempted 4 day blackout. This is...

Clockwise from top left corner. All have branching side shoots not counted in stem count. Picture is actual plants you are getting; table is 24" square. 4 stems Rotala sp. from Vietnam 5 Ludwigia brevipes >5 Bacopa australis ~2"x2" Rotala sp. from Goias (this is a foreground plant that at...

Mostly C. wendtii variants. Also 2 C. walkeri and 1 Dwarf sag. Pictured are the actual plants you are getting. The table is 24" square. Will include bonus plants if you have med+ light. Looking for any Crypt I do not have (see MyInfo). I expect shipping to be around $7 for USPS Priority...

How about we make this a running archive of flowered aquatic plant pics and tips? Your pics of flowered plants capture something we're all hoping for, and it would be neat to scroll through your success. Thanks.

My newest tank. I'll be gone for a while and wanted to post pics before it possibly crashes due to neglect :) This tank is lit off a 23w spiral screw-in CF in a desklamp and gets 1mL of Excel every other day along with eyeballed doses of KNO3 and KH2PO4 and CSM+B+Extra Fe. I plan on not...

Say an airtight reservoir gravity feeds a sump for auto top off, where the exit pipe drops water into the sump until the pipe exit is submerged. Will it still raise salinity issues with evaporation, since when the vacuum and main is in effect there is one water column? Or can the reservoir be...
