Getting results when starting CO2
First of all, I was very impatient. On another thread, I didn't seem to have much growth.
It turns out there was two problems. A lot of my stem plants were dead. I'm afraid CO2 doesn't bring them back to life.
I guess this could affect other people, because seeing all your stem plants crash, might be one reason to get CO2 in the first place.
Secondly I was very short of iron. I've sorted that with an iron supplement.
Now, suddenly, the Anubias Nana, which I didn't think was known as a strong grower is growing 3 full size leaves per week
with the next furled up leaf following behind, one for each of the three growing stems from this small plant I bought potted recently.
So... It has started...
