So, my Rotala indica (I think) is going mad, as are my swords. So I chopped a bunch last night to clean up the tank, as well as trimming the dead Madagascar lace leaves. So, my question is, does anybody else compost their unwanted plants/leaves?

Also, anybody in the market for like several metric tons of R. indica? :drool:

whats your lighting at? also how's the co2 going?
Lighting is 2x65W CF 6700/10000. On ~9-10 hours a day.
The CO2 is great, I am not blowing it enough to turn the indicator green, but enough that the plants are doing great, the GW is gone (also maybe due to the GKM), and the fish are healthy. My crypts are really bushing out. Also, the Madagascar Lace has sent up one new leaf (so I cut off all the dead ones last night). I think it was just sleeping.

Thanks for asking.
