I wonder if some one would be kind enough to look at this plant: www.ibrox.freeserve.co.uk/images/hygro.gif It's a fast growing plant (I think a Hygro of sorts) and looks to have some kind of deficiency. Searching the web I think it may be Potassium. Can anybody confirm?

A lot of people stick a fake tree in a corner, dust the leaves off every week, and call it indoor gardening, but indoor gardening has grown into much more than that lately. There are also a lot of people that thinks plants belong and should stay inside, but there are many reasons for starting an...

Following a total remake of an odd planted tank, I have a quantity of Cryptocoryne pontideriifolia -- not at all beautiful, but lotsa rhizomes, healthy so far Java fern -- much like the above Java moss -- what can you say, the stuff's indestructible anyway

Hi, I always try to do the very best, because it's hard to do better and it won't haunt you afterwards...but to the point. I have 700 litres tank with Anubias nana, Anubias lanceolata, Crinum thaianum, Echinodorus schluterii "leopard" and a few Vallisneria gigantea and the wont grow or succeed....

Your tank may be getting too much light. Is it in sun light? Do you leave your hood lights on a lot? That can and does tend to make the water quite cloudy. "Victor M. Martinez" wrote in message ... I've been...

Yep.... both my 50 and 55 do the same, never happens in the grandkids gallon guppy tank. Clears over night with a Acurel F treatment. Bob "Victor M. Martinez" wrote in message ... I've been meaning to post...

Usually you do want to remove the pots and the wool that the plants are rooted in. And then just plant them right into the substrate. As for the snails - well if you didn't clean the plants in diluted bleach or something like that chances are good you'll end up with snails at some point or at least...

I'm acquiring a CF light fixture from someone that currently has reef bulbs; 2 10000Ks and 2 actinic, with 2 extra 10000Ks. I know the actinics aren't useful for plant growth, but what about the 10000Ks? I won't be able to get 6500K or 6700K bulbs for a while, but I've read in a couple places that...

Hi all, If you read my little disaster story last week in alt.aquaria, you would know my 40g display tank is now fishless. I don't want to restock until I move (late Aug/early Sep), but I do have plants in that tank that I'd like to keep healthy until I restock. The plants are Aponogeton bulbs...

I have a 40 gallon planted tank and I would like to upgrade the lighting. I currently have 2 regular 36" flourescents (30W each) on top of a glass canopy. My crypts and Java Fern are going fine, but nothing else really thrives even with compressed CO2 and I'd like to be able to grow a...

I have a R75g, And inject Co2 wtih compressed gas. My absorbed level is usaually always 15-18 ppm. I add ferts on a regular schedule. My question is sometime the bubbles(o2 pearling) dont seem to be as good as some days even after water changes? Is this normal? The tank was setup again with all new...

I think it looks great, especially compared to the older photos. Only comment would be to lose the stick-on thermometer on the front of the tank and use something a little more discreet. I wish I could find a supplier of that substrate :-) Graham. "Mr Stout" wrote...

Hello all, I recently came across a trace element mix in my local garden supply/seed store produced by Whitmire Micro-Gen. Since the price is only $1.50/lb as opposed to $6-$7/lb+ for mail order sources - I was wondering what the experts here thought of the possibility of using this for PMDD. ...

*top posted* IMO after you've got sufficient lighting and a decent CO2 injection/reactor system then you can spend whatever's left towards substrate heating. IME my unheated substrate 3' tank is basically whatever the room temp is. After tearing out some flourite to transfer to my heated 4' tank...
