lmhicks101 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I’ve now started to get the hang of keeping my plants alive and the proper color so I’m wanting to try my hand at different colors. Mainly purple if I can find them. My scarlet temples are gorgeous. Pink flamingos are actually pink and Ludwigia super reds are crimson. What are a couple purple ones you guys would suggest? i don’t use C02 but do run fluval 3.0s and dose with thrive C and Osmocote tabs. Ph stays around neutral and GH is 8-10 with 4ish KH. This will be in a sand substrate or on driftwood is rhizome plants. Here’s my current light settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmhicks101 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 @Mmiller2001 you wouldn’t know where to find healthy Marimo balls would you? I know the zebras got a lot banned but was wondering if any have been cleared and selling now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grows at a good pace too. The purple is slower. On 7/14/2022 at 4:26 PM, lmhicks101 said: @Mmiller2001 Those will definitely do. Thank you Forgot to mention this one.
