I was at aquatic experience last weekend and bought lots of plants. One of which was a 2 foot plus mother amazon sword. The thing is huge, and had a stem that extended out of the plant, above the water and had flowers on it with lots of runners and other swords attached to it. Now after about a week of being in my tank it's starting to melt, a couple of the leaves are melted. Is it the lighting? Is my light too powerful? It's a single T5HO. Should I cut the extended vine running out of the aquaruim where the flowers were? I'm sure it will produce more amazon swords though right?? I've heard that it gets the CO2 from the surface air and kills the leaves under water as it gets more co2 in air.
