MC is incomparably easier. You will like it. Ian Sutherland managed to grow it dense and low in low tech, magician.

Both these species will store for a very long time in the fridge the althernathera being the leader of the two, sorry Ian. But there is a but. It depends how long and how your supplier kept them in ;)

Fridge is good advice but not all range will stay months healthy. It depends greatly on variety. Reineckii mini will hovewer stay long time in fridge as well as out in cool ambient light place with same sucsess.

Hi Ian, both them will grow low tech no problems. Might be good to add low tech ferts, micros plus K. The thing with low tech tank looking good is to pack it with plants from day 1 as you wont see much of a change going on ;)

First looks like some sort of plagmonium but need better and closer picture. Other pots are impossible to I'd now cause it's emerged form. They all look very similar emerged.

Well he did use 6 t5 bulbs on his 125 tank. Insane :clap: So that was fast :D

Good tip. I remember Paulo was saying that same push down technique helped him to achieve very fast and compact HC carpet :thumbup:

Yes, I have not tried to cut them right after planting yet but think it could be done. I had crypts appearing in the tank from nowhere from roots I beleive also

All will depend how you trim them guys. Hack them down totally and they all regrow much shorter. Basically all plants.

Thanks Ceg. But i do not think it is due to that. I mean anubias would do well in any lighting and CO2. Must be something other. Wheather bacterial or transition from emersed? The same problem, ryzome rots, then leaves just fall apart. It is also a client aquarium. I am sure lights co2 ferts are...

Happened to me again. 2 pots of petite and one of nana rotted within 2 weeks. One petite and one nana doing good. Plants where bought from where they been kept emerged for a while. Anyone else got anything to say about this?

Well if you performed daily changes filtration shouldnt be an issue. Must be something else i guess. Might be EC.

How long has it been there? Was there any filtration. Easy Carbo overdose is possible but you probably need to put 10-15ml to kill it. They can recover, yes.

Just make sure if you use kitchen roll or newspaper that they are PROPERLY soaked with water as otherwise they will absorb all water and the plant could end up dead. You could use a plastic bag wrapped in a towel or newsletter for further heat insulation. (better way imo)

I had the same problem as well, my old anubias was not affected though. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9123

90l tank EI automated dosing pressurized co2 akadama substrate lighting 48w T5 and 30w T8 without reflectors Planted quite heavily Had not changed or added anything for weeks The most surprising was how quick the rhizome rotted, less than 10 days. I dont think it was something from my tank...

no, the rhizome was not burried, its really mysterios :( I think it was originally an aquafluor plant as i said the plant looked 100% healthy when i got it and when it disentegrated the leaves still looked healthy only the rhizome rotted.

Hello, i have bought and put in to my office tank anubias nana, after about 1 week i have noticed couple leaves that started to rot, today i wanted to remove the affected leaves but when i took out the plant it has completely falllen apart and rhizome was all rotten and smelled horrible! The...

Ok, i see then. So old cut leaves do not die then? I was thinking once you cut it the old leaves would die in some time replaced by the new growth. Will find out it soon anyway. You can only learn experimenting. Thanks a lot. :thumbup:

Thanks for reassurance. I think i am starting to see small new leaves now... For the next time should i leave 0.5 inch or so of the old leaves or should i prune it right to the ground?

Been 6 days after pruning and no new leaves yet. Any advice about how to prune LB would be highly appreciated. Cheers.

Hello, was on holidays for 5 weeks and my friends looked for the tank only occasionally. It turned out not that bad as i was expecting. The worst was lilaeopsis witch was all covered in algae. Trimmed it like a lawn so the question is will or will not it grow back :eh: and how it would have...

Always welcome :mrgreen: Thanks for the diagram by the way.

Yes, would be interesting to hear about that planting technique. I am actually trying to grow glosso in 2 tanks, the second of which has 180l and 105w of t8 lighting and FE co2, both will be fertilized with EI, the smaller tank has akadama, moss peat and some osmocote as a substrate and the 180...

Ok, an update. Decided to go for an extra 2x24 t5 with 2x15 t8 so should be enough.

Hello there. I am new to the planted tank. Was planning to try to grow glosso in my smaller office tank but heard that its quite demanding. The set up is going to be: Tank: Fluval 90l tank, about 45cm high Substrate: Akadama with some moss peat and osmocote (thanks to James and his awesome...
