When I google Yellow Pothos leaves the results say "over watering"... hahaha!!!!
Click to expand...
but why do submersible plants have green leaves if yellow leaves of pothos is the result of over watering???? LOL!
i did allow a some pothos with submerge parts steadily under water... and it got green leaves... but the one in the canister with running water did have a yellowish leaves... i believes there is something missing in the running water than those steadily just submerge. both have the same amount of sunlight every day...
 
3 questions.

A. whats your nitrate reading
B. city or well water
C. whats the gph your shooting at the roots. I think I have read before that there is such thing as to much current. I have about 250gph going through my "long box".
 
I don't even do filteration with my 10g tank not even airstone. Its heavily planted and loaded with CPD's/Rocket killies.


Should be thinning the tank and spiltting the juvies into another tank soon though :)
 
10ppm this week, not to shabby. didnt do a water change. should top it off though....
 
so 2 weeks no water change, moderateish feeding ;) 2nd week results are about 25ppm. Not to shabby. 70%w/c here we go

Here is my regular outdoor fern I plucked from the ground. I guess what you would say the 2 dirt "leaves" died. But right after those died this puppy shot up, there is another right behind it, so withing 4 days ill have 2 of those stems. I wonder if this puppy will stay alive!

Why not? Worth a try. You figure lots of rain and ur grass gets huge in a week so here goes nothing.

Always wanted to try it out anyway
