Tall Plants For A Tall Low Light Tank?

I had westeria, it took over my 55 with only 70 wts

Another way to get more height without adding tall plants is to tie anubias or Java fern to taller driftwood.

flourish is both the name of seachems plant fertilizer line as well as their broad spectrum supplement.

Thanks, I will looks into those plants and see what is available locally.

Could you explain Flourish a bit better? I believe I've seen something called "Flourish" and another product called "Flourish Excel". Which should I get? Or should I get both? You mentioned Iron and Potassium ferts, are those each a different product, or all in one?

I will post the specs of Nutrafin Plant Growth in a moment. Maybe can tell me if it's any good.

Flourish is the name of a whole line of ferts. Flourish Excel is CO2 in liquid form. Flourish Iron and Flourish Potassium are both individual products. I prefer to have the elements in different bottles so adjustments can be made if deficiencies show up.

Amazon swords may work too.But will need root tabs.

Aponogeton Crispus would be an excellent choice.

I bought some Aponogenton Crispus, Undulatus (sp?) and a beautiful Grandifolius Sword from Customdrum in the classifieds. Couldn't be happier with them. The Grandifolius is probably my favorite plant right now. Its trying to grow out of the top of my 72 bowfront! I don't remember if anyone suggested Crypt balensea but that would work too.

a few different companies make root tabs. the first 2 to come to mind are api and seachem. you can get them for aquariums or ponds. they're essentially the same thing except you get a lot more for your money with the pond tabs... you'd just have to break them up. they do get expensive fast though.

here is a link to diy root tabs. i find they work much better than store bought and cost a whole lot less. they do take some time to make though but once you're done you save yourself the time of driving back and forth to get more anyway so it balances out.
