First thing I'd like to mention is that you need to keep some of your plant selections on the DOWN-LOW.....no need to mention your "herbal-arthritis-stress-reducer" on such a public server! :clap: Not sure if anyone got that one, but seriously...matt2615 said:
I will also suggest a quality nutrient-rich plant substrate with much smaller grain-size. Part of your problem is probably lack of technique, but your larger pebbles are difficult to plant in, and the plants have a hard time taking root in those epoxy coated aquarium gravels, especially the larger grain sizes. Plain sand would be better, IMO. Best is to go for a quality 1-3mm size substrate. I have been happy with Flourite and Eco-complete, and mixtures of either with each other or sand/ etc.
