Does Eleocharis Acicularis need root substrate?
I am trying to grow Eleocharis Acicularis(sp) Dwarf Hair Grass after an
initial failed attempt. I am using 4 T5-54watts over a 55 gallon tank that is much brighter than before. And am using K-N-P & FE at recommended dosage levels. My question is does this species do better with root feeding besides fluorite?

Grows about 30% larger each week. You might consider adding a little patience and more CO2:-) Regards, Tom Barr

No. Just lots of light, no algae and lots of nitrate. -- Need Mercedes parts ? - http://parts.mbz.org http://www.mbz.org | Mercedes Mailing lists: http://lists.mbz.org 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | Killies, killi.net, Crypts, aquaria.net 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Old wris****ches http://watches.list.mbz.org
