I add Flourish and Flourish Excel - the latter slightly less than a full dose. If you don't have snails in your tank, make sure you soak the hornwort in about a gallon of water with a couple tablespoons of kitchen Alum. This kills snails and dissolves snail eggs. It also should kill off certain other hitchhikers like hydra. Tropica is a good website. It won't let me link directly to the plant in question, but you can find it under this name: Ceratophyllum demersum Tropica Link Last edited by Cory_Di at 03-Nov-2004 09:00
