Hmm so there might be some trial and error in the light selection.
For 20 bucks i guess its not the end of the world if i hate how it looks haha.
But i do need to ensure i pick the right colours for plant growth! Ugh. This was so much easier whe i ordered my evergrow
I ordered the plants from aquarium west and they seem to sell the ferts from tropica as well. Maybe next time im back on the mainland i can stop by and grab something. For now root tabs will half to suffice... plants sure arent suffering!
The hygrophylia is growing well and getting some nice colour to the leaves but it doesnt stay in the substrate well. I have tried to bury the roots a few times and their all now a good 1/4inch exposed. Like the plant is too light and is trying to lift out.
