hi red, hand't thought of that, however had been told they take a few weeks to acclimate...but i thought that was down to root establishment more than anything

i've looked in the tank today and have green dust algae starting

strangely not seeing growth in the cabomba or egeria yes, i know its only a week but i thought it was faster growin than that

the reneickii is doing well except the shredded leaves and the swords look ok, except on leaf has been murdered by the festivums
