Mr. F Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Well, both really. Actually all of it! Is that driftwood or a rock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShrimpP Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 The Downoi was looking nice with just Excel dosing. It's crazy you had issues growing Ludwigia. Only issue I could imagine would it be growing TOO well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeMox69x Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I have never had success with ludwigia sp red. I'm not sure why I just can't grow it! It is a piece of wood. I envisioned using a rock to create a cliff on 2/3 of front and have a 4 inch drop off and a dwarf baby tears carpet wrap around the front and behind the rock with stems in the back. But I couldn't find the right rocks and the wood kinda fit my idea. I think between dosing and water changes it grew well Mr. F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeMox69x Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 idk what it is but I just can't grow it properly. It doesn't seem to take off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherbee Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Nice gift! I just love the little nano square tanks set up with a big slope and split substrate type so there's a little path. I have to squelch my plant collectoritis (aquatic, emersed, terrestrial, succulents, bromeliad/tillandsia...everything!) all the time because of space lol. Im very much considering going vertical and adding sturdy shelving next to my bed in our bedroom-living room where my 4 tanks are now though since that's my only option. Ludwigia is one plant I've been able to really have a lot of weed like growth with- I have 4 types now including the "red". I wonder if it's the lower ph or temp as I'm assuming you're referring to CRS/lower ph tanks? It might like my higher ph/higher temps but I'm not sure! Looking forward to seeing what you do as your previous tank is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a nano Species that would work perfect. I know of a couple of nano species of buce that will make your tank pop such as; Black Mist and Arrogant Blue.

I think eventually when I graduate college I'm gonna get more into the terrestrial plants because I plan to get a Hermans tortoise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I have sp mini Godzilla and sp copper leaf. I'm looking into a blue species clump. I just have to find a good deal on one. I usually buy from mike at MAP on Facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
