Tonina sp "Belum" - General Aquarium Plants Discussions

m4gichat · 06-22-2012, 07:21 PM

I just purchased some Tonina sp belum which was NOT easy to find and now i am trying to grow it but have a couple of questions
-How much exel should i put in daily? i have other plants but this is my prize
-I know you'r supposed to hanse a lot of wattage per gallon for these plants but will 1.5 watts per gallon do?
-I have c02 injection... will this help a lot?
any other advice would be much appreciated
and if it works out well ill start selling!
thank you

did you mean Syngonanthus sp. 'Belem'? i got plenty in my tank, and i know a few people sell it too. you don't really need excel if you have pressurized CO2. you don't need a lot WPG to grow it either, i grow them in <1wpg. i have 2x32w of T8 over my 72G.

assuming this is the one you're talking about

They grow fast with strong light,co2 and aquasoil which I grow my in.It good to have a co2 indicator so you know your ph level.try out with what you have and see what the outcome .
