The bulb is 8000k 18inch t8 15 watts

I have had my 36g set up for over a year now and I love it, however I'm still in the trial and error phase of getting my plants to grow. No matter what, hornwort, anacaris, java fern, it just doesn't...

i believe its the variant of co2, its not in actual form, such as how prime converts ammonia, to ammonium, which is non letal to fish. it might be similar to that. excel also has iron, and i know...

i know that "excel" by the same company that makes that comprehensive supp. is not good for anacharis, but as far as i know, the other is okay for it, umm, i do know though that it is not supposed to...

thanks for that thought, although i literally just untied the rubberbands, and buried them. im optimistic that they wont rot in the substrate, but i cant be sure...i just want to have a nice, green...

i thought that for the longest time! its like, wearing a rubberband on your wrist, its okay for a while...then it will leave impressions, and when im wrapping them really tight and the anacharis are...

Its alright, i originally was mis-naming this plant as well, i got it confused with Anubias at first, then realized they are totally different haha.

anacharis doesnt have rhizomes though, does it? atleast mine dont, they dont even have a root system

well, i have to choose anacharis then! hopefully it will be able to grow nicely now, to me it seems wierd, since i have had it for around 3 weeks, and since day 1 i have had excel it has taken this...

Thanks so much Brhino! one more question, should i just stop using it then? what did you do? oh and..sorry one more, what type of ferts do you use?

no way?!? a plant nutrient supplement is killing it? if you dont mind me asking, whats in it that kills it? and thanks for your input!

Theres another thread by me a while back, talking about the growth of anacharis or hornwort with my current lighting. the way i have it planted is all 20 or so "stems" of it are rubber banded...

java fern i think is nice looking, but my LFS doesnt carry it...i think the dont lol, everytime i go there they never have had it, and they never have anything new, so im guessing they just dont...

cool thanks man :) ill see what happens, im going this weekend to get my fire belly newt tank setup stuff, and i will pick up a bulb, and see what happens from there, and yeah i figured....only...

i thought it would be okay, thanks for the tips :) umm i have an aqueon 8000k 15w t8 18" preheat, so a 6000k would be ideal then, providing i have it lit 8 hours or so? and since i know practically...

florescent

Rena is the best, it makes just a barely audible "mhmmm". I think maybe the mixed reviews could be because of what the pump is placed on. Putting it on wood will make it louder...as opposed to...

i feel so stupid....i knew that, but its always on for 4 hours....okay, well, i just changed the timer to start from 11:00 to 7:30pm i think that should be good. Im a little concerned about it being...

i figured not, thanks for that transformer depiction ;) with the considered wattage, how many hours do you think would be enough?

i also failed to mention that i have the light on, which is a t8 18inch 8k bulb, on around 4 hours a day, is that sufficient lighting?

I dont have a strong current at all, and the hornwort is placed on the back wall, far from the current of the filter

thanks for your reply :18: Do you think i should try another bulb? i like hornwort alot, its very unique in the way the, i guess, leaves are shaped, and i like the contrast of it with my gravel, and...

So, its been a while since i have gone onto AC for advice, because actually, everything has been going great! except, 2 or so months ago, i discovered i really wanted to get into a planted aquarium,...

So around half a week ago i noticed my guppies tails had slits in them, so i tested my water and my nirates were around 60-80 which is very high, and i hadnt done a water change in a while so it was...
