    Thanks bros. The hornwort was described by the Y618 Auntie as a plant that will "eat up all my fertilizers and take over my tank". Hahaha. Alright then. Thanks!

    In a sense, yea. They grow by the centimeters daily for me last time. Occasionally you can see people in the forum selling them by the metres. That's how fast they grow. It's a good plant to absorb excess ferts.

    You're right. Everytime i turn around, they seem taller. I assume in 2 weeks time they will be taller than my tank! Does this mean they are absorbing more than their fair share of fertilizers? Will the rest of my plants get fertilizers, or do i have to add more?
