So in my Rio 180 I'm having good success with getting my riccia carpet to establish, and over the last few weeks it's steadily growing in - another couple of months and I should have a full carpet (it's low tech). Good news.
What isn't quite so good news is the way I'm struggling with the ele. acic. Although it seems healthy and happy enough in the tank, it just won't root for some reason. I keep finding more and more plants floating around, with no real root growth on them. Any suggestions as to the issues?
Fauna: Amano and red cherry shrimp, otocinclus
180l Rio, 1800lph flow, dosing all-in-one ferts weekly, T5 lights with 4 hour photoperiod. No algae issues.
Substrate is moller clay.
Cheers!
