First off, I can get things to grow emersed in a tank. I'm starting to do some crypts and can do hc and some other carpet type plants just fine. What I'm trying to do now is trying to start an emersed setup using just plain old sunlight, something we have lots of here in Hawaii. I've tried a few times and all I get is cooked plants. Humidity is usually around 60-70% or so. Daytime temps are usually 85 or above. I'm wondering where would be the best place to put my emersed culture to harness the most out of natural sunlight. Should I get some shade cloth and put that over my pots? Should I just put the pots under the shade and just let ambient light do its thing? Another thing, would I need to keep a clear cover over my pots or is my relative humidity good enough to keep the plants open air? Any ideas? Tia...
