Wondering if someone could offer me advice on growing red plants. I recently purchased some rotala magenta. I placed them in my CO2 supplemented 75 gallon tank. Light is CFs, 265 watts, with flourite onyx substrate, root tabs added. I've heard conflicting comments from various sources, more/less light, add chelated iron, less nitrates, to a point that I'm confused. The magenta appears to be slowly turning green, maybe my imagination, but that seems to be the case. Otherwise, it's doing fine.
Thx in advance,

Walter
