Re: Finding the right floating plant for fast currents and splashy conditions
I've got water sprite and it's been a lifesaver for me - I wanted something that could handle the current and surface agitation without making a mess everywhere. It's been growing like crazy in my tank for months and I've had to start throwing some out with every water change. The roots are really ...

Re: Finding the right floating plant for fast currents and splashy conditions
I've got a ton of current in my tank and my salvinia was really struggling with all the swirling around. I decided to try something a bit different - I stuck two suckercups to the front and back of the tank and then attached a piece of thread between them. Now my salvinia's doing pretty well, it's ...

Re: Finding the right floating plant for fast currents and splashy conditions
Do you have liquid ferts in your tank? I've found my frogbit does poorly without sufficient nutrients, even in a tank with some splash and flow.
Yeah, I'm using Seachem Flourish Comprehensive for ferts. My frogbit's just not doing great - I've tried it from different sources, but it always ...

Finding the right floating plant for fast currents and splashy conditions
My frogbit's really struggling in both tanks. I've got a pretty strong surface flow going on and those Aquaball filters create quite a splash. Salvinia's not doing great either.

I recently had to get rid of Salvinia in my 10g betta tank due to a nasty bacteria bloom it caused. Turns out, not all of it was gone, and now I've got some growing back. Guess I didn't get it all after all.
