Travis .. I am growing Tonina Belem, fluviatalis, and Eriocaulons as well as ludwiga glandulosa, one of the babies of your original blyxia which has split a dozen or more times...

I still also have a bit of pantanal .. all with 2.5 watts per gallon.

I didn't realize manzanita was toxic. Mine is fine.. my cardinals are all strong after a year, as are apistos, rasbora espies, rummies that are 3 years old and just won't go to the light. Hell I have a lemon tetra that is 4 years old. I know because it was a present from cat when I was pregnant with Sam.

I boiled the manzanita until it was willing to sink, and just stuck it in the tank. I wonder if I just got lucky?

If you like I'll shoot the tank and send a pic. It can use a little trimming, but is in decent enough shape.

the fluviatilis and belem are both weeds. be careful you will be trimming a lot! I have kept a bunch of annubias in the far corner just to cut down on pruning.
