Re: [Aroid-l] Aquatic aroids

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2009.09.17 at 18:46:00(20036) Hello, Are the large plants (like Colocasia) in pots? I don't think they would grow good in so shallow gravel. What fertilizers do they use? I also have a problem with long brown algae in a classical aquarium, any fish doesn't eat them, and I don't know what to use not to kill plants and fishes. The algae grow on everything, on plants, wood, stones and even on glass. I reduced the lighting form 60W to 30W, but they still grow slowly killing the plants. The dimensions of my tank are 100x40x50 cm (40x16x20 inches) - about 200 l. Can anybody help?

These are some of his newest photos of a 65 gallon tank: http://hydrophytesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/11-ix-09-tank-i-m.jpghttp://hydrophytesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scratch-colocasia-ii.jpghttp://hydrophytesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scratch-colocasia-i.jpgHe said he thought the tank was looking "pretty good". I'd say that is a major understatement!Devin will be at the IAS show in Miami next week. If you like to grow aquatics you'd be wise to find him! I promise I will!Stevewww.ExoticRainforest.com _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l Wewnetrzna Baza danych wirusów jest nieaktualna.
