Going from emersed to submerged Utricularia graminifolia

[mikeb210]

Hello everyone. This is my first post on the ukaps forums, though I've done much reading on this site. I've been growing ug in a small aquarium emersed for about 3 months. I'm ready to fill now, I'll be using pressurized CO2 and a 27w lamp. Should I do a regular low dose of ei method ferts or should i just run high CO2? I've heard this plant has fairly low fert requirements due to its carnivorous behavior. Any truth to it?

There won't be enough microbes to feed the plants if you are running high light regime. You will need to supplement the diet by Ei Dosing if you have high light and high CO2. Otherwise then you will get not only stunted growth but also algae manifestation
