Just keep putting them there. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

longhairedgit Fish Guru Lord of the Beasts Posts: 2502 Kudos: 1778 Votes: 29 Registered: 21-Aug-2005  | Its a good idea to keep removing dead plant material. The leaves people use to control ph in some set ups are usually oven dried and of specific species. Dead leaves from your plants will probably have the opposite effect and just pollute the water. |
