I love the plants in your aquariums. You have inspired me to try plants out in Indianapolis water. I have had luck with only crypts, anubias and floating water lettuce everything else has died. Even the anubias is struggling now due to BBA. Can you recommend some plants that will grow in our hard and alkaline water? PS I am experimenting with CO2- too early to report on results.
I have grown it from tissue culture before, with even low co2 it grows like a weed, I have a twinstar sa on that tank and they come out bright red, with even smaller leaves.
More variety is a great idea. I pretty much have already bought all the plants I wanted from you and since they are exceptionally good quality I don't have a need to buy more. Offering new varieties will get people like me to buy from you again. I love the way you run your business.
I dose API algaefix once a month as a preventative measure, so I never have algae problems. However, I probably don’t have to do that considering how many plants I have growing in the pond. More plants equals less nutrients for algae to thrive on. But I do it anyways to prevent passing algae along to my customers at all costs. Thanks for watching.
That doesn’t matter. Using API algaefix in the system where the plants are grown in no way affects a customers aquarium. No chemical is transferred or present on the plant when its packaged.

What do you do you use to fertilize the water column of the pond? Unless it's an industry secret 👀
I mix my own fertilizers with dry ingredients purchased from online retailers. Thanks for watching.
Just got your last batch of pearlweed. Great quality as always.

Good to see the heat didn't get you.

Don't you get algae in so much sunlight??
