I'd just not go with the full, recommended dosing of excel. I haven't had problems when it's toned down...

IME Anacharis prefers high light and water on the cooler side of tropical.

but it will grow in lower light tanks..just more slowly. it is a nitrate sponge or one of the plants considered as a nitrate sponge.

I have planted it but it tends to break away sometimes sending runners that wrap around/tangle in objects(driftwood and java moss).

I actually like the plant.

I decided to float some and plant some. Someone above mentioned flourish exel is not a good product, I havent read his link yet but I will. I used that product in the past and it really didnt do jack for me. Is there anything that is recommended?

Just to clarify, I never said Excel wasn't good. It has it's uses. I, along with many others, have had personal experience with melting when using Excel with Anacharis.

well not sure exactly what melting refers too, but if it sounds awful. so i will not be using this chemical. I have a 120g tall tank, standard lighting which is mega low, 1 java fern and 1 bunch of anarchis. I plan on adding more of those, plus maybe some low light anubias. What can I do to help my plants out other than light upgrades or co2.
