[AquaticLife] Re: full planted vs. well-planted aquarium

 

Hi Ray,

yes I planted the strands at different positions in the aquarium. But you are probably right about the lack of light. Leaves of other plants block partially the light to the Cabomba and some strands became so long that they loop through the aquarium and mix into areas with less light. Also the sheer plastic cover between lamps and water frequently becomes less transparent and I think now I should remove and clean it thoroughly...

Thanks, Nora
