Hey everyone
Im new to plants and was wondering about the following plants:
Jungle val (Vallisneria americana gigantea)
Stargrass (Heteranthera zosterifolia)
Dwarf sag (Sagittaria subulata)
Amazon sword (Echinodorus bleheri)
Java fern (Microsorum pteropus)
1) do they get nutrients from water column or substrate?
2) I have an Aquaclear 110 and a 170 GPH powerhead on my 20 gallon, is that too much flow for them to handle??
3) is a 12 hour photoperiod sufficient?
im not sure of the wattage or details of my light, all i know is that its a 10 year old, 24 fluorescent tube. It came with the tank set up from the store. I can try to figure it out though.
I wanted some opinions on this before i commit 100% and buy them, I'd hate to kill any plants.
