I was wondering if anyone here has ever grown anachris or hornwort at a
temperature of 79-82 degrees fahrenheit? I had tremendous hornmort success/growth a long time ago but only at a temperature of 68 degrees or less fahrenheit and I wanted the temp to be higher so I got rid of it. I tried anachris (egeria densia) recently with some success at first but it eventually all died off (at a temperature of about 80 degrees fahrenheit give or take 2 degrees fahrenheit). Back then I wasn't checking the ph and I realize it might have been low but in this bedroom tank now (thanks to elaine's (and others) recommendation I have had calcium carbonate in this tank which has upped the alkalinity (I think) and the ph to a good 7.2-7.3 (I know), and obviously this tank has natural fertilizer from the fish in it) the ph is good for anachris. I have had good success in my bigger tank with java fern but other than that that's it. The salinity in my bedroom tank should be low. Should I try anachris again in my bedroom tank now that the ph and kh are high or should I buy supplements (plant food, substrate, etc.) first? I would love to have this bedroom tank filled to the rim with thriving anachris or hornwort, are at least something more than a little algae and a "holding it's own" amazon swordplant. Enlighten me so I can have thriving plants! Thanks. |
