Hi,

if Eleocharis Parvula is not growing/spreading is this a sign of inadequate light?

Thanks
 
How come its not a low light issue? Aquabar 600 at 55cm above substrate and at 90% intensity. EI fertilisation and pressurised co2 with inline diffuser on inlet of filter and a reactor on the outlet just to make sure all co2 is dissolved. also dosing 5ml of excel daily. 40L tank and filter is 1000 l/h with a spraybar.

I think co2 circulation and nutrients are covered. The only thing left is lights...
 
I think you should reduce flow but improve distribution.
Eleocharis doesn't need a lot of light
 
I use a spraybar...i dont think distribution can get any better....maybe its the high flow?
 
I ran 20 x turnover.
Reduced to 10x turnover and my Monte Carlo exploded in growth.
Not scientific but...
