nice lawn both of you have~ does this works well in a community tank? i always wanted to make a nice lawn with HC/glosso but both attempt failed. my loaches uprooted them all.

I'm gonna have to say no to your tank cos the loaches will definately up root them.

Hi oldmantan,

how is the UG doing in your tank?

Replying to this thread a year later...

[oldmantan]

hi, they were blooming. however, i had changed the foreground to HC just over last weekend. hope this will succeed as well.

Do you actually sell if you have any access?

Nice to see this thread coming alive again. UG is truly a lovely foreground, I managed to get a small clump of it and it is growing really really slowly in my shrimp tank.
Here is a humble pic to share.

bro, where did you get them?

[feide]

hi lucas
got it from a LFS, I know the guy there, he spare me a bit when he was maintaining his display tank (FOC)..

[oldmantan]

Bro Aquasynthesis, i wld have given them to you but i have disposed them when i changed the foreground to HC. U can get them from colourful.

[oldmantan]

Bro Feide, this plant thrives in tanks with strong water circulation. it made alot of difference when i changed increased it in my tank.

Eii oldmantan..no problem man. I'm having HC now too. 2nd week in the tank. Looks like a few patches of melting HC.

if i had use a stronger filter, the UG would have been uprooted and happily floating in the tank! hehehhe

I realised that my HC were melting after a few days also. Quickly supplemented a daily dosage of excel flourish. 3 weeks on now, HC is growing and spreading healthily. Hope it continues this way. Ill post some pics soon.

sir...may i know what do you use Excel Flourish if your HC is melting?

[oldmantan]

i presume you are asking "why" do i use excel flourish. its to supplement the water for the hc growth. if its melting, i reckon its lacking in calcium. however though i try excel flourish first. it worked for me at least. im using excel flourish daily now.

[aquaSynthesis]

Yes Sir...
glad it worked for you. I think I should try your tips. My HC seems melting...not all though. Just a question, whats the size of your tank? how many squirts of Flourish Excel per day?

[oldmantan]

My tank is 2ft(width)x1.5(ht)x1. I use half a cap daily. However, since Sat i have changed the supplementation to kh plus. it works better.
