Has anyone done a full tank of hair grass before? i've decieded i don't likemy tank and want to start a tank just for hair grass so i can then transfere it to my 300L com. tank with out having to buy heaps to begin with.

Main questions are ;

does it need intense lighting

" " ferts

" " or under gravel stuff.

i've got a little but most of it seems to have died off and the few strands i have haven't grown or shot of runners since i got then 4 months ago

Needs good light. If you have too much of it in a tank the bases will go brown and rot off.

It grows like mad and doesn't need too many ferts.

High lighting yes, co2 yes, bit of ferts but not too much (comprehensive is perfect). Doesn't need root balls or aquatic mix but it wouldn't hurt.

I've found it grows faster in black grit than in silica sand as it's easier for it's roots to spread between the gaps in the gravel.

Sand and a shallow tank will make it grow like a weed. Be carefull not to have too much light or you will have algae problems.
