One large aquarium plant

[Big Dog]

This is a plant that I just took out of my 75 gallon planted aquarium last night. It was taking over the whole aquarium. It been in my aquarium for only 6 months and it got this big. It was only 3" tall when it when in the aquarium. Let me know what you all think of this bad boy.

Thanks BIG DOG

[NiceGuyNick]

HOLY SNAP! That thing is huge what lighting do you have on that thing ?

 

[Big Dog]

I just have 2 T-5 fixture lighting, R/O water, Co2 to the water , Greenleafaquarium.com fertilizers and 50% water changes each week. I also read a bed time story to them each night just before they go to bed. LOL Maybe the bed time stores help them grow. You should have see the faces on the fish store employees and customers faces when I brought this thing into the store. It is a sword plant.

Thanks for liking the plant.

Mine never seem to grow like that.
What wattage is your t5 lighting system? And how long is it on?

 

[Big Dog]

I have 2 T-5 lighting system which has a total of 4 blubs. Each one is 54watts. I keep my lights on for 11 hours a day. I have to power heads going 24-7 to help keep the water moving an the fish happy. I do a 50% water changes each week also.
