Need advise on 120x60x50 crystal tank

The uptake rate of Phosphate is crazy, at the rate I am pouring Seachem Phosphourus, a 500ml last me a week

Hopefully, the KH2PO4 from Eco City will last longer..

Go with dry ferts, it's wallet friendly! Keep the Seachem bottles, and buy those transparent bottle with pump heads from Daiso. Swap the Seachem cap with the pump heads and you get a nice dosing bottle. Bring the Seachem cap to daiso and try fitting it onto the bottles before buying, there are a few different sizes.

Or better still, learn to dry dose!

In other threads quite a while back, I was asking about a strain of Rotala Rotundifolia which give out more intense red than the regular Rotala Pink/Red that we usually see in LFS. It was like 1 week ago and under high light, some stalks starts to have horizontal growth behaviors like Rotala Green and it have 2 leaves per node. After doing lots of research on the Internet and asking around, I am pretty sure what I have is Rotala "Colorata". Below is the pics. I am still trying to propagate it and does explain its messiness.

You can compare your rotala :

sp colorata : http://theaquatank.com/Plant/Rotala-Colorata

since yours creep and we are in SG, my guess is it is sp singapore

My strain is not from Singapore... it got it from oversea during business trip.

Rotala Singapore is closer to pinkish, closer to the common rotala pink. Whereas the strain i have is reddish-orange.

hmmm...... what i am pretty sure is, its not Rotala Pink ..
