well done

you have been busy.
My only comment is that i'm not sure it's easy for everyone.to grow.I have seen quite a few posts where it just suddenly melts, unless it's not Cabomba Carolina i've been sold.
Good work though.

Thanks, and okay I'll add that right now. But have you heard of the reason that it melts. The people could just be doing something wrong..... I guess

I really don't know why it melted. Have you read this PARC thread ?
May well have done something wrong, but then again it may not have liked my water, nothing else died off at the same time. Guess it depends on the definition of 'easy'
