Default Well,who`s all going?

Hello,

I run 99% skimmerless and my tank is mainly softies. Carnations are pretty hard to keep...just as hard as flowerpots.

If you wish to keep it you'll need four things :

1) directly feed it with Phytoplex - a lot of food. So much, that you need to watch for nitrite spike. It uses a lot of food to expand/contract, but it needs extra food to grow.
2) hang it upside down...not really necessary but it grows better.
3) 15cm/s (up to 25cm/s) water flow blowing at it.
4) fairly low light (it contracts if it experiences high light).

If you can satisfy these criteria (plus the usually good water conditions), then it would grow like crazy.

Okay, how much are you trying to sell it for ?

- Victor.
