	Java Fern
aquapickle27 Enthusiast Posts: 182 Kudos: 98 Votes: 55 Registered: 28-Jan-2006	I just bought a java fern and tied it to a rock. I have 2.5 watts per gallon in the tank and a DIY co2 setup (helping a little). Is this too much light? †Aquapickle†

brandeeno Mega Fish Posts: 929 Kudos: 636 Registered: 13-Sep-2007	if you want thing tos tay the way they are try a bit of duck weed floating (it is VERY hardy and easy to come by)most of your fish will nibble at it to keep it under control and also you will providing the shade to your java fern necessary... also the location of the plant in respect to the lighting fixture/bulbs would be useful too as we dont know if it is in direct light or indirect and it si still burning it. \\\\\\\"an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure\\\\\\\"
