as well, all crypt plants.

I don't have money enough to but very nice plants as of yet, so, if you have any thing to add to this list, please feel free to add it.

oh, glostigma will work, but, it will grow to be a little bigger than what it is usually susposed to be, but, will still look nice.

also, java moss and duckweed

so.. u keep em at 1.5W per gallon..and you spread em out a bit.. any othet things, PH lvl, co2 injections, fertilizer?

FBG - September 13, 2006 03:22 AM (GMT)
my P.H. is at i think 7.2, but, i am not for sure. no CO2, i am too cheep, and don't know how to make a DIY one.

i use for ferts, flourish gravel bed supplemet o.28-0.17-0.16, plant care solutions plant food tabs 0.0-0.0-6.0, and flourish iron supp. and then reg flourish liquid supp.

and like i said, 10-20% water change every week, or week and a half, and gravel vac every 2 months or so (i do gently disturb the sand every time i change the water, but, not a vull vac.)

:laugh: needless to say, i go through fertilizer farily fast........ :banghead: :wank: lol

Snowy - September 13, 2006 04:20 AM (GMT)
