I just got 4-5 stems this last weekend from Aqua-Forest in San Francisco. It's doubled in height in only 4 days. Though it does seem to be losing it's rich red color a bit. I have 3x54W T5 HO over my 72 gal and dose heavily with an EI regime (and have high N and P levels from a big fish bioload) and pressurized CO2. It's pearling like mad, and growing like mad. I've had the greener and easier-to-grow cabombas in the past, which ironically grew BETTER when my tank was only 2w/gal using CF lighting and nothing but trace micros dosed (and whatever macros the plants got from fish poop and uneaten fish food rotting) than when I went pressurized CO2 with an in-line reactor, EI dosing and higher T5 lighting.What does it demand? aside of light, what are its likes and what will it insist I give it? Thanks for the correction on species. It does have three leaves per whorl.
