You've gone to heroic efforts. Try some other plant, dwarf hairgrass is not worthy of you!

Oh and I must say I love your screen name. I image this....IMG_1533.JPG
But standing in front of an aquarium.
 
So I have been dosing for 2 months now and no new growth. Im at a loss now. Don't know what else I can do. Ideas?



You've been dosing PPS pro yea? What's your co2 injection? Pressurised? Has the brown algae subsided?

I am using pressurized Co2. It's a automatic injection system from Drs Foster and Smith. With the exception of the hair grass, everything else is booming.

Did you trim it? Maybe it's completely dead?

I have also heard that hairgrass can be very slow to start and hen explodes with growth. I've never grown it personally but I will be using it very soon.

I did trim it but not much. There are a few green blades here and there but they a few and not propagating at all from what I can see

The brown algae has finally started to subside also. I will add a pic of the tank tomorrow

If there is signs of green blades then I'd wait it out a little longer. You want a ph drop of 1.0-1.2 if u haven't already. PPS pro should get it all rolling. I've got some in a propagator at the moment and it's looking very slow so far
 
Good luck with the DHG. That's something I've yet to try.
I hear trumpets playing when I read your screen name.
