Ross A. Baker@benmcramer Are you experienced in Walstad? I'm trying it for the first time and having a hard time getting it going.
@ross I started my first back in February in my 20 Gal. Its going okay-ish. What are you having troubles with?
@benmcramer Water quality is fine, but low light plants (e.g., anubias, Java fern, vals, crypts) that readily grow in my traditional tanks just aren't taking. I have a tiger lotus that's doing great, an Amazon sword that's doing okay, and everything else is a struggle a few months in. It's a 65 gallon, and I wonder if it's so tall it needs a better light, but I think it's brighter than my successful planted tanks.
@ross I am having a similar issue, my tiger lotus has taken off and flowered twice, but nothing else seems to be doing great.
