maran Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Does it interfere too much with other plants growths in a tank. Given it is a fast growing plant, if I have more sensitive plants in the tank, will it suck up too much of the nutrients? It is just the oxygen weed seems to be growing much faster than the other plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Some plants grow faster than others. Is it in cold or tropical water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maran Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Tropical. 24 C. At the moment Im nipping off the oxy weed when ever it gets to the surface ( to about 2/3 of the height.). If you ask me what lights I got-I was having whatever the purple light that came originally with the fitting (2 of them) and 2 cool daylight white (6500K)( 30W time 4), and bit of non direct sunlight througha small widow which is right next to the tank. Since today I have taken off the original purple lighting and put on a Gro lux and a 3000K with the 2 daylight whites. Not into CO2..... yet.... I dont know the names of the other plants. 6 other different kinds. 1 month since starting the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Lots of plants are called oxygen weed but the only legal one I know of is Elodea canadensis (canadian water pest) which is sold in the shop usually as a cold water plant and I use as turtle tucker. People put it in their goldfish tanks. Is that what you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
