    Miserable attempt at growing Cuba....

    I've never had any luck either. Tho my tank is pretty deep (60cm) so I'm using that as an excuse! ;)

    Echinodorus tenellus - trimming?

    I have been trimming mine in the "regular" way and the plants are still sending out lots of runners. I will try and get a shot of it currently (tho... I've been trying to get that shot all week! but I keep forgetting...) to show the differences in growth whilst trimming.

    Why can`t I grow Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis

    A Ha'tak mothership then? I'm growing Tennellus atm and it is always sending out runners. I am trimming it at every water change (weekly) to keep it to the length that I want.

    Why can`t I grow Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis

    I'm sure that The CEG will come over and recommend a Negh'Var-class cruiser reactor powered luminaire that you can nuke your tank with. :thumbup: ;) I have no experience with LB, so can't really comment. I can say that I have been lead to believe from our peers that we should be able to grow...

    Runners

    Congratz! I don't think any external intervention is required. I think you pretty much just leave them to it. The only time that you would do anything is if you want to replant them into a different area, and I would recommend cutting and replanted. Or is they are growing into an area that you...

    Dying plants - can they be rescued?

    Hey skeleton, Let me get this right, you added aqua soil + plants with EC and ferts and no filtration? How many water changes did you do after setting up? For the first few weeks Aqua soil leaches ammonia into the water so you'll need to do regular water changes to stop algae and other nasties.

    HC "Cuba" Immersed Sellers

    Yeah, I have Co2 through an AM1000. I was concerned that it wasn't getting deep enough into the tank (my is 60cm) but I had the bits that are still lush green pearling (or at least hugging onto Co2 bubbles).

    Ok, thanks. How did you attach it? Cotton or the super glue?

    Bolbitus Advice

    Does anyone know if it has any preference on to what it is attached? Wood or rock? I've just ordered 2 bunches off someone on here. It will be going in a low tech tank so hope if fairs well! Good luck Stu, let us know how it gets on with the change?

    Cause of death?

    I think there, basically, three main types of plants. One type that will only live out of water, another type that can only live in water and the final type that can adapt, by changing their leaves, and will grow both in and out of water. There are clearly lots of fine details missing from the...

    Cause of death?

    Just cos the gods will come down and "educate" the heathens is no reason for the heathen to give it ago! As I understand it, from my limited biological knowledge, there is differences it leaf structure depending on whether it grows in or out of the water. It will most likely be to do with...

    Mosses in low light no CO2 or carbon suppliment tank

    Hi, I have some Xmas moss in a Juwel Rekord 800 using the standard 2xT8 with not added Co2 or ferts and it grows fine. I've added some Java moss recently and it's still green, but hasn't really started growing yep. But its not been in there long enough to start getting worried. So, yes there...

    Causes of Crypt Melt?

    Hi all, I'm wanting to find out the causes of crypt melt. I've had mine in my tank for a while and since the addition of pressurised Co2 they've come on leaps and bounds, but just in the last week they seem to be melting away... Also I seem to have had an outbreak of BBA or Oedogonium, I'm not...

    Garden moss.

    I was jsut looking at a patch of moss on one of the trees on site (as I moved from building to building... god i'm turning into a plant geek too!!!) and saw one what looked like the emersed growth on andyh's "Deep Root" tank, so I wonder if there is a local variant of xmas moss...???

    Garden moss.

    I'm toying with the idea of getting two identical (squared) glass bowls and gathering some moss of some of the trees/wet ground around site (work) and put one to grow emersed and the other immersed and see how they do. I'd place them on a window ledge for light and add/exchange water when...

    Reccomend me some suitable plants....

    U're really in the wrong place to advocate artificial plants u know? There are a lot of un-demanding plants out there. My Java Fern is thriving under T8 lighting with no adding of ferts (until recently, as I had some left over from another tank).

    Weeping Moss

    Is it xmass moss? I was told that xmass moss is one of the more "difficult" moss to grow. I have just trimmed mine back when I added Co2, and it wasn't looking too clever so I'm hoping the trimming and Co2 will incourage some healthy new growth.

    Garden moss.

    I've read ppl asking about garden moss and ppl don't seem to think that they are aquatic but I would be interested to hear what happens if someone actually gives it a go! Most of the aquatic place I see seem to have emersed growth so it would be interesting to find out if our native moss...

    Problem with Pogostemon Helferi

    Problem with Pogostemon Helferi

    Just noticed last night that when I did my last water change I inadvertantly turned the temp on the heater... to 30c... :thumbdown: I have a feeling that this is what might have had the negative effect on the P. helferi! I can't be sure, cos I can't remember when the problem started... I've...
