So thick (not me, the plants) I doubt I'd be able see any buds! I reckon I'll play safe and do about 3 goes and start over.

If I cut my Rotala down to a couple of inches from the substrate it takes less than 3 weeks to get to the surface. How many times can I hack it down before replanting the tops? For ever?

Thanks. I suspected even if you could 'mow' the mess may not be worth the hassle.

I usually pull my Blyxa up, break it up and replant. But is it possible just to give it a bit a mow and cut it down a bit?

I'm using a diffuser I bought from aquarium gardens, it's plastic and much smaller than glass ones I have used. The output of bubbles seems very good and more even than glass ones I have bought. The best thing is I haven't broken it yet!

I have now reduced the ramp up times. I think I'll up the Co2- I have changed the background to a frosted background so the bubbles are less obvious. It is frustrating as 2 weeks ago it was going so well! I don't think co2 distribution is an issue as the FX4 pretty much blasts the bubbles...

Not the best of pics, but you can see the Rotala on the right is looking covered with diatoms. CO2 is moderate, so darker rather than light green, the bubbles were driving me nuts,I've also had a couple of CO2 wipeouts in the past so being careful. Filter is a Fluval FX4, so circulation is...

Would the diatoms inhibit growth?

My 200L tank has been set up for 2 months. Plants were growing very well, most from tissue culture. Plants include dwarf hairgrass, Rotala wallachi, pogestemon erectus. Once they took off they were growing like triffids, pruning more than once a week. After about 6 weeks diatoms started, and...

Would a lack of iron have any effect? I've just bought a test kit and measuring pretty much 0 iron?

I'm having much the same issue with the 'mini variety. Grown for tissue culture, grew fantastic for first 6 weeks, now beginning to look less than great. Nowhere near as red, and leaves beginning to break up.. Moderate pressurized co2, fluval 3 light. EI dosing and 50% water changes. Most other...
