    Thankyou all

    Fozzi
    4 ways i have read 1) Place it on a rock put a hair net around it.
    I have tried it didn't work for me.
    2) Put weight on then it grows around the weight.
    3) Sandwich it between fine mesh.
    4) Tie it to something That is what i did, take's a little time.
    Riccia is a floating plant it won't root or attach to anything.

    Chafule
    The tank size 4'x18"x18" I, running T5's total watts is 112watts
    I got CO2 diy going into a reactor(Yesterday).
    1ml per week phospate
    At the moment i'm using AZOOtrace at .5ml per day
    Aquasonic tab for root feeders everyweek
    50% WC week

    I was considering to add another bank of T5's, I don't think i will every thing seem to be going fine.
    It took me ages to get some, I got it just by chance when i gave my angels away and she offered me some ricca.
    I have glosso and trying to get that off and running.

    Ive had my plants pearl ,streaming and it's good, But nothing can compare to riccia pearling IMO,up until now i only ever seen pic's of riccia pearling now i have it just AMAZING.
