Wow! I have been fertilizing regularly, changing the water, changing the CO2 cartridge, etc. and quite reiligiously. My algae problem is going away. I would have thought my Vallisneria and/or bunched Subalata would have been multplying by now, but it's the crypts that have formed little baby plants all over my tank. I had one, then I got a mother plant, which broke apart on me. Nonetheless, I planted it all in one spot, at a point where you can't even see it (i.e. behind the drfitwood). Well, this plant has formed little crypts all over my tank. I am going to have to start giving away riccia, java moss, crypts, and wisteria soon. I would like to see my vals and glosso multiply, but that is yet to happen. I think my days of buying plants for the tank are over, even though I am yet to remove the loaches (they are proving to be very difficult to catch). Just in time to move...lol.
