Looking for plants (I pay for s/h)

You helped me before but I need your help again. I want to start from the
beginning by throwing away all my plants and I hope I won't get any algae in
the future. Thanks guys.

I might have some sunset hygro, not sure how much, but the next trimming,
I'll post a note...

Please think about this. If you get your lighting, CO2 and nutrients right, the
plants you have now will recover. the stem plants will send out new stems, the
others will develop new growth from their rhizomes, crowns or whatever. The
algae will disappear, with some help from you (clean the glass, remove what you
can, perhaps a blackout.)

If on the other hand you start a new tank from scratch without new plant culture
techniques, then you can reasonably expect the outcome to be the same as well.

This is hard to take. I know, my tank looked like crap for the second year. Then
I took Tom Barr's advice, went back to basic principles, and my tank looks great
again. Hint: If your flourescent lights are more than 12 months old, toss them
before you toss your plants!

Well the algae doesn't grow anymore but the old one keeps growing. I cut
all the plants but still just a small algae keeps growing and growing. I
almost don't have any algae anymore since I got CO2 but i'm getting tired.
I want the algae to be completely gone and the only way to kill the algae
just to throw away all the plants leave the tank with Algae Destroyer for a
week and put new plants without any algae in my tank.

Hello Almazick

I would seriously consider taking Dave Millmans advice, it is very sound. I
too have been where you are and I did go the "REDO" route, but if I knew
then what I knew now I never would have redone the tank. You need to go and
research on how to balance the tank between plants nutrients and lights. I
cant stress this enough, once you get the hang of fertilisers it all becomes
so much easier. There will always be a little algae in all our tanks, you
can't get rid of it 100%. As the famous Mr. Tom Barr says "concentrate on
growing the plants not the algae"........

At worst you should do a tank blackout for 3-5 days. This will also give
your plants a head start on the algae.

Regards
Cam
