As NowherMan6 says, it depends on the specific plant. For example, Rotala Indica (Rotundifolia) will do fine at a lttile over 2wpg. Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

SheKoi Fish Addict Posts: 667 Kudos: 553 Votes: 4 Registered: 11-Feb-2004	cheers. most plants i've got are low light anyway. but would limnophila sessilfora be ok? now co2 - i can't afford a system now but what can i do to add co2 and help plants until i'm able - could be several months. postion of spray bar? etc would it be possible to get a couple of the smaller co2 kits for example. http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=484 or would one of these be good enough until i could afford better. http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=448 Last edited by shekoi at 24-Jan-2006 05:36 www.blooming-brilliant.co.uk
