That picture of yours made me want to see if mine will grow like that too. So much for well trimmed planted tank. It's gonna be a jungle with all the plants I will let grow as they like without pruning (I just love to see them flower).
Looks like your plants are doing great, both rain and limping. What do you guys do to prevent lower leaves from falling off? I have a big problem, most of my stemed plants leaves look great at the top but the lower leaves just keep turning yellow and decaying. Not enough light? I have 3 watts/gallon, I'm going nuts!
Yeah, it's some sort of Ludwigia. There are so many variations that I don't certainly know what that one is. You might get lucky if you search pictures of Ludwigia using Google.
Yellowish plants. It does sound like too little light, but the balance could be off. You know, plants need certain amount of nutrients, CO2 and light. If you have lots of light, but not much nurtients or CO2, the plants can't use the extra light. And so on.
Water parametres, what fertilisers do you use and how often, CO2? What type of light? How many hours/day? Do you have any algae problems? And how many watts is that per litre? I'm kinda bad with gallons
Rain, the plants are actually doing better now. I purchased this thing called "Flourish Excel by Seachem" and I've been adding a little bit everyday. I also add a little bit of general fertilizer along with it. So far the results are really good, everything is sprouting new leaves, including plants that require "high light" (lobella for ex) so I guess it was an inbalance. I wanted to ask you how your pictures make the plants look so natural? Is it the bulbs you use or do you just have a good camera? Thanks.
I have 66 watts, and about 105 litres.. So it's about 0.6 watts per litre..
I guess this problem is caused because of the lack of CO2
I'll buy somthing soon, hope it'll be okay..
