Riccia Grow

[petermax]

Hi Bro.
8 hrs of lighting period are just nice, but 72watt for a 3 ft tank imho is far too low i would suggest you to add another set of lighting of the same wattage.
java moss turning brown it might be still adapting to your tank water condition and are common on a new setup but as you mention even your ricca are melting i think your moss are facing the same fate too

how about your tank temp, co2 dosage (bps) and your fert.
btw i'm good in growing ricca and moss if you need more advise kindly give me a call over at my mobile as some tech part are quite diffcult to expian in words.

Bro, how many watts should be fine for riccia in a 3 ft tank?
Thanx

Hi bro.
The exact watts....I'm not sure....
But so far my setup is only PL lights (36Wx2).
It would be adviseable to have a stronger lighting to push it... Of course you need supply with sufficient CO2 to see bubles out....

I can see the grow of Riccia in another tank which the lighting is higer....
