Aquatic plants are classified as "shade plants", and from time to time I hear people saying this or that plant can't tolerate intense light, like say >0.75 watt/liter.
The plants I've often hear are species of Microsorium, Bolbitis and now the last one: Echinodorus.
I don't believe in this. I have a gut feeling that if you provide stable source of nutrients and CO2 you will be able to grow all plants with high growth-rates in insanely high light.
But I have no experience, and if it is true that some plants don't tolerate high light I would like to know a bit more scientifically why that is so?
