    Hi Terri give us more specs on you tank no use giving you clippings that will never grow in you tank because they are High Tech and if there is something that you need to correct we can try and sort it out before you add the plants.

    Tank size
    Substrate
    Lighting and lighting period
    CO2
    Fertilizers
    Filters and flow

    Re: Re: Plants wanted

    Ok looks like you are setup ok to grow most plants, you can use tropica to start off with their are 2 options 1 for a low fish load and 1 if you have a high fish load.

    Here is the website

    I've just trimmed some stems, you are welcome to come fetch them. I'm in Randburg though.
