    Plant ID

    It will turn into a plantlet if left. If you don't want that, just pull it off - it will release easily.

    Anyone use riccia as a floating plant

    I have it floating in a shrimp tank - holding in place by resting around a piece of wood with java moss on it which is close to the surface. It produces a lovely half sphere if left to grow. The current isn't huge so it keeps shape, so no nightmare of little bits everywhere. I removed it for...

    no HC growth in 3 weeks.. confusing.. any help?

    I totally agree re flow distribution. I have a very similar tank size, a 1400lph filter, the same lighting (about 5cm above water surface) and an hc carpet. It was growing, but slowly. Messing around with the filter outlet position had little effect. Then I adding 2x 1800lph powerheads and...

    Riccia Fluitians

    HC Alternative??

    Separated it out & planted - 2 larger clumps & some small ones. About 2 weeks ago Small clumps have been up rooted due to MTS :evil: 2 larger clumps still rooted, but seem to be struggling a bit. Hopefully they are still trying to get established & will start to grow soon?

    HC Alternative??

    I found some utricularia graminifolia in the lfs, so I'll give that a try & let you know how I get on. £5.95 - I thought that was a decent price!? Cheers

    HC Alternative??

    I have currently reduced the lighting levels in my tank in an attempt to combat some algae. It was aprrox 3wpg, & is now 1.5wpg. (2 x 24w t5, now 1 x 24w t5) I have some vallis, anubias nana, java moss, some grass looking stuff + a few others, which hopefully will be fine. I also have hc - it...
