ZorroNet-
I love the fact that you are one step a head of my readings, LOL. I just found an excellent post where people where discussing what "low to high" light will cause the clover to do. It is just like the glossostigma, in fact exactly how you described your experience is what they said as well. I guess the question I should be asking or looking for an answer to is what is med/ high light on a 20 long? Speaking in micro CFL or AHsupply product would be nice. LMAO but we can all dream...I understand quite a bit about lighting and how photosynthetically active radiation or PAR is the preferred method to determine sufficient lighting, but without a PAR meter and/ or a good list of tank sizes and the correctly corresponding bulbs for said "low, med, high" lighting, its impossible to know these things. I think my biggest issues is connecting the dots and having what I do know come full forwishen.
See the real issue is how to strike a balance between what is best for the plants and the fish. I am adding familiar dither fish and driftwood, as well as a soft substrate to try and accommodate the fish. I have a nutrient filled substrate for the plants and i am trying to work the lights so they are enough to see slower, but not too slow, growth. I above all else am basing this tank on the fishes needs, all the plants have been checked against the fishes water/ tank requirements to ensure compatibility.
BOO I say, I will not let you be the messenger of ill news on this day my good sir. LOL.
Yeah that old battle axe....err... I mean my mother in law is really a sweet lady, she has done more for me than my own family in many cases... even if she told her daughter 12 years ago she didn't want us to date, HA! I showed her, and I got the wedding ring to prove it.
Zorro, do you think other members know it is in fact ok that they post here too?
