Honstly bro you need liquid ferts to grow any stem plants. I could see if i was keeping a sword and crypt tank, maybe. Theres no reason to shy away from liquid ferts if you do it correctly. I agree 5wpg can be tough to maintain but Ive kept planted tanks for years, and like a hi tech setup, as challenging as it may be.

The water report for my town was available online through the city website. I am sure that it varies from place to place. Good luck with the tank. Glad the star grass is growing better.
