Will a CFL shatter in my tank if it gets wet?

[siva]

Do you know what it is in pic #5? I've had it for months and it isn't growing. And my substrate in the last pic..can I get your opinion on that?

I can't change the substrate (it's in like 10 tanks) but I was thinking maybe I should mix some smaller rock in with it..what do you think?

Do you know if the flora pride is safe for my inverts?

It is invert safe. Not sure on the plant... Maybe it is hc?

Thanks fort.....what is hc?

Any thoughts on the substrate?

Dwarf baby tears.

If you want to change the look, adding to it is fine. It won't effect the plants either way unless you are adding some kind of nutrient rich substrate.

Ok. I am clearly just starting to learn about this stuff, but I thought the larger stones made it more difficult for some root systems...or something..lol

can you get a closer pic of the leaves on pic number 5? for some reason, it looks like glosso to me.

 

[fort384]

90% sure it is not glosso... Unless the perspective/scale is really off in my mind.

Finer gravel can be better for some plants. But if you are mixing it, it won't make much of a difference.
