I can tell you that in the wild, even when you are talking about one particular species, you will sometimes find the plants in a wide range of conditions, both based on the locality and the time of year you visit. That's for ONE species. When you then try to make generalizations about planted tank communities, you're pretty much on thin ice.

Silvering, IMO you come across as rather rude. This is the type of post more tyical tp TPT than APC. There was enough info in the opening post to begin offering advice. I suspect most hobbyists dont bother or care what the differences will be if you change your water chemistry.

Karen Randall's answer was very telling of what conditions are like in the wild. I am so happy to see she has joined our community here. Never realized she lived in my home State. Looking forward to her posts.

I've actually been a member for years. Life just gets in the way of participation. I've promised Cavan that I'll try to be around a bit more often.
