I have wisteria in 3 aquariums and it grows fast and full. Does a great job of controling the algae, the otos take care of the rest.

After 5 Weeks of CO2 Injection
It’s been 5 weeks since I installed the CO2. The results are amazing to me! I’ve had to trim plants way back at least twice now! On either side of the tank is Western Milfoil and Mayaca. It’s reached the top, curved across the surface to the front and then back down twice! I’ve had to really cut it back. You can see the UV filer on the left, soon it will be hidden by Milfoil, the stuff grows SO FAST!
I’ve lost all my Java moss, except for a few stands. I can’t seem to eliminate the fine, stringy, algae that only grows on it.
I’ve also trimmed back the Java ferns to just the newest leaves.
The crypt plants have stopped melting and are growing a nice bronze/reddish color.
I’ve replaced all of the Rotala with cuttings from the Bacopa australis. I really like this plant!
The Amazon Sword to the left is getting HUGE!
The Ozelot Sword on the right is getting very red! YAY!
The Gymnocoronis spilanthoides in the back, center is getting very tall and I plan on cutting new starts from it soon!
I’ve also been taking out the Ludwigia repens as the other plants grow out. Just check out the foreground plants! I’ve a carpet forming finally!
I also added a plant I picked up from the local Planted Aquarium Society, PAPAS. It’s growing on the stump now. I cannot recall the name…
