amazondon Fingerling Posts: 17 Kudos: 17 Votes: 15 Registered: 14-Apr-2007    | My green cabombas are looking haggard. They are brown in places so I assumed it was lack of light. After further consideration i feel that i havve enough light with 4 36 inch 25 watt ultra sun flourescent bulbs (about 3.5w/gal.) and they are planted high on a slope reducing their overall depth in the aquarium. I am using flourite as a substrate and just started using plant care tablets that provide nutrients and co2. |

Gone_Troppo Enthusiast Posts: 285 Kudos: 196 Registered: 13-Mar-2007   | Hi Amazonia, Just a short note for any Aussies who happen to come across this thread, Cabomba has been declared a weed of national significance here, Be careful with this plant if you have it in your tank/pond already dont let it get out into the environment, it has the potential to choke water ways. GT Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic. |
