Hi,
I was hoping to get some advice. I've decided to try and get a carpet of DHG (Eleocharis acicularis Mini) going in my 46L tank.
I have an approximately 1 cm layer of Tropic Substrate nutrition underneath a a layer of Unipac Aquarium Silica Sand. The layer of sand ranges from about 5cm at the front to about 9cm at the back.
From what I've read, DHG should do alright in sand but as a root feeder needs a nutrient rich substrate. I'm just wondering if I've made my sand too thick for the DHG to be able to actually reach the nutrients?
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Thanks!
