88888888 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 So i just picked up a plant from my LFS. The shop owners a cool guy and he informed me this is gonna be an easy one. Forgot what it was called. I plan on putting the pyrex in my 10 gal once the plants are rooted so the shrimp and snails cant uproot them. my question is how long should i keep it in this condition until u think the plants are stuck in there. and also at the same time, will the plants even grow if i leave it out like this? there is an led light shining over it of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy6107 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 looks like some kind of sag. are you growing it out emersed then going to change it to immersed? some people that do this will have a lot of melting at first when immersing.

88888888 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Considering what you said, i immersed it. Just checked the tag and it is Helanthium Tenellum. Hopefully these plants work out! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Shrimp Life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomCruise Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 There is a water additive, Flourish Advance, i think? It's great at stimulating root growth. It essentially makes it so the plant stops growing and throws all of it's energy downward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88888888 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I do have flourish, but i was a bit worried the nitrate and other minerals are gonna mess with my tds. U think its shrimp safe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin_the_elder Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Flourish does contain a little bit of copper iirc but it should be safe so long as you don't overdose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShrimpBrothers. Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I use flourish in all of my shrimp tanks. Excel too. Never had any issues. Just keep the doses on the lower end and you'll be good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
