waterlogged Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-obstacle Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 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.

jim r Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
