Doug.l Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 What lights? What plants? Fertilizer used? Thanks for the reply. Lighting is 2x11w bulbs the came with the tank, [ Aqua One 60 litre ] have not added any fert , and don't no the names of the plants, they are just your common ones from our local fish shop..

AMAZONIAN Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi All,. Doug.I if you have a digital cmera a few pictures might be a very good start, as there are several pet shops and breeders in your area. You might even consider the value of joining your local Nelson Club, where I am certain that there are members who will positvely identify your plants, give you a few more and even help you to understand the hobby, including growing plants in an aquarium.[/b] PM me for further help Good luck.

alanmin4304 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 22 watts is very low lighting and would be one of your problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaNs Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 22 watts is very low lighting and would be one of your problems. I can grow fine under 18w @ 6400k in a 38L with a bare bottom and plants in pots, rock wool in pots BTW. Also have the exact same tank with 100w lighting and substrate. PMDD and Flourish Excel does wonders! Upping the lighting WILL help a lot. Ill clean up the tank and get some pics(or just get some dirty pics ) Join the Nelson club and im sure someone can pop around a give some suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
