Re: Aquatic aroids

Hello,
 
Are the large plants (like Colocasia) in pots?
I don't think they would grow good in so shallow gravel.
What fertilizers do they use?
 
I also have a problem with long brown algae in a classical aquarium,
any fish doesn't eat them, and I don't know what to use not to kill plants and fishes.
The algae grow on everything, on plants, wood, stones and even on glass.
I reduced the lighting form 60W to 30W, but they still grow slowly killing the plants.
The dimensions of my tank are 100x40x50 cm (40x16x20 inches) - about 200 l.
Can anybody help?
 
Marek

I posted a note a week or two ago about Devin Biggs' aquatic aroid website.  These are some of his newest photos of a 65 gallon tank:

He said he thought the tank was looking "pretty good".  I'd say that is a major understatement!

Devin will be at the IAS show in Miami next week.  If you like to grow aquatics you'd be wise to find him!  
I promise I will!
