Glossostigma elatinoides with just easy carbo

[Alastair]

Have just recieved a couple of pots of this, however, ill not be getting my pressurrised co2 set up till the end of next week, would this do okay with just easy carbo and ferts until then? tank is 450 litres with 4 54watt t5s.

Help is greatly appreciated

Run a either a single or pair of t5's rather than 4 and yeah, can't see why not.

Thanks for the reply Garuf

cant really run a single tube with the juwel lights, but if a ran 2, then id obviously need to run the front 2 as i believe glosso needs really high lite? but then would my plants at the back suffer with turning the back 2 tubes off?
or would i get away with running the two front tubes but angling the reflectors so the plants at the back get something too?

Nah, it's a weed, what it really needs is lots of co2, two times t5 is plenty, if you've no co2 it's wise to run lower light if only to reduce the chances of algae.
