Carpet Plants

[neilevo]

Hi

I am nearly ready to start my new tank just waiting on a few things. I would like to carpet Hemianthus callitrichoides but i have not had any success in the past could anyone give me some tips.

I have not had any problems with any other plants just the carpet ones.

What substrate does the tank have, what size is the tank and how many watts do the bulbs come to. Do you use a plant fertiliser, how many plants are currently in the tank, do you use CO2?

I will be using JBL Aquabasis plus with Unipac limpopo black sand ontop i have got a Juwel Vision 450l with the normal lights that come with it. and i have got CO2 aswell.

Do you use a fertiliser?
TPN+ is widely used and liked, but i found this on ebay which has exactly the same ingredients but it's £14 for 1 litre

that stuff is brilliant i am using it in my high tech 55 gallon, i bought the 1 litre bottle and it will last for ages and much cheaper than other brands also i get very good results

with all carpet plants, it's all about flow and getting enough C02 around them. It's not as much down to light as once thought.
