Ideas For Plants (no Co2 And Hard Water)

[deanrar]

as the topic says i am looking for hardy fast growing plants for my 34gal tall tank and the water in my area is rather hard with a ph of around 7.8 and i dont have extra co2 injection, any ideas?

In those conditions I can get Egeria densa, hygrophilia polysperma and rotala rotundifolia to grow well, and though it's not such a fast grower cryptocorne wendtii.

Check out http/www.tropica.com/default.asp for more suggestions, it's usually where I start to research plants

Vallisneria will do very well because it will abosorb the carbon from the high calcium carbonate in hard water
