    CO2 supplementation for emersed growing

    I noticed that there is a very old thread from 2014 which raised this issue and the concensus seemed to be that it made no difference and/or wasn't worth the effort as the 400ppm of atmospheric co2 is more than adequate for emersed growth. That thread quickly devolved into a debate about global...

    Moss plant id

    This moss has hitchhiked it’s way into my tank on the back of a rarish eBay fern purchase. It’s been growing steadily and slowish, but not out of the tank - it easily could though, if it wanted to. Would someone be able to help me identify it? It’s the top one, further down is some Fissidens...
