Re: Can't keep plants alive
My 1st post was only a summary of my problem; in it, I mentioned the t8's.
I am now using 3 watts per gallon of pc lighting (2 x 96 watt bulbs, one 6500K or so and the other 10,000K).
In the past, I have tried anubias and java moss. Within a week of being placed in my tank, the leaves already present on anubias seem to "bleach out." If the plant is left in my tank long enough, new leaves grow in as stubs. Java moss does absolutely nothing. It doesn't die, but it doesn't grow either. When I had it in my tank, I would pull it out about once a month to rinse it in tapwater. The moss always looked healthy, but it never grew an inch.
