IMO the rotala sp green make it unbalance, replace it downoi probably better

Yes shadow, I thought of that too

initially I wanted to plant all downoi, Im afraid the downoi might not
be able to survive in high temperature .

now tested they are not melting , will change to downoi soon

thanks

Please let me know if the downoi is doing well.. mine not doing well at all.. same temperature range. 2 Watt per gallon lighting with CO2 (about 10ppm only though).
