Good morning guys, sorry I just woke up.... This has been an interesting day. ok so after almost 2 months is neglect, I have finally fix, cleaned and completly sorted mt 3ft out. I am not in the process of planning the 4ft's and finishing what was needed for that, I will have the regulator later this week and have decided not to go the ADA route just yet due to the costs. Back to the 3ft. I lost a lot of my plants and am now trying to get it back together. here is the thing though, I want you guys to give me some advice, the 3ft is running DIY CO2 for the short peroid that I dont have the presurized CO2. So what would you guys do? This is what I have at the moment, and is getting new shoots all the time. Giant Hygro Willow Hygro Rotala Rondefilia (Spelling I know) Giant Vallis Twisted Vallis Tiger Lotis Bapoca Crypto x3 (dunno what they are, just that they are the common ones) Crypto Parva There are two other plants I dont have the names for I will post pics alter for that help. PS, I want to also ask who has what moss, I lost almost all my moss and only have Christmas, Java and Singapore left who has some others they can spare?
HM should grow pretty well in that setup as well. Been taking over my tank with just Excel dosing Isn't the Giant Valis too big for your tank? Had it on my ex 1.8m and the stems were well over 80cm long
@Neilh normally they would be to big but have stayed rather shorter. When all was well in the tank they were incredibly long...
Dude keep things consistent and dose excel for carbon replacement. Careful of melting your vailis though. Otherwise keep ur wc and ferts consistent and you should b fine
Hi there Richard I am looking for some new plants some cool stuff, with the CO2 coming very soon and decent lights for a change I think I can afford to take the chance...
I have been using about 3 - 5 ml of excel in my cube almost every day, and my vallis is stronger than ever... So it's a myth that excel kills it.
ok but we are drifting now, not getting the advice I was hoping for so here is a list of what I would like let me know if you have or not and if I can get some clippings? it is a long list so bare with me here...

Yes I know, I think maybe if I cant find them I might try import or get them imported some how @Slagter The question is, who has what and are they willing to Share I know there are some you have as well, that I will hopefull get some clippings of some time...
Hey Raymond, as you guys know I am new to the CO2 systems, so I don't know what there is or is not out there... Also I need to find our what there is so I can make plans for setups. So no Wesley they not all for the 4ft but I would like to see what I can get.
