Lots of you keep and grow HC and I stumbled across this YouTube clip by the excellent aquascaper Mark Evans. He shows just how you need to clean your HC in a planted tank.Firm yet gently pushes on top of the HC means the dirt is removed by the roots hold the plant in place. Just perfect.
I have had the plants about three weeks now and so far so good. If Aqua Essentials could please provide a list of easy to grow plants. I know Co2 instruction is ideal but i am not sure how that is achieved or the cost of doing that?
Needed plants to fill space . Delivered quickly, plant is strong and healthy and vibrant colour. Looks great in tank.
I love setting up new tanks with fresh plants that after 2 weeks already have new leaves
Fast delivery and plants arrived in great condition i am now waiting to monitor the growth in my nee set up and then I will be placing a further order.
I bought two XL. I’m very pleased with the plants and plan to buy more in the future.
Plant was great and a nice big surprise. I might use luck dip again
This is the second time I've bought from this shop and both times products arrived in good time and in very good shape. Plants are always a decent size and healthy
I’ve ordered the XL Hastifolia several times before and yet again, my last ones arrived pristine, well packaged and looked stunning as soon as they went into my aquarium

there’s no easy fix once algae has appeared. Do you have shrimp?
in a co2 infused aquarium flourish is no good as it’s only for non CO2 tanks. Use Neutro+ instead.
I made a rookie mistake with my hc and now have alge growing quite rapidly. What would be the best direction for cleaning? I was even going to look at h2o2.
I have enough light..maybe too much.
I belive I fed it too much florish , not excel.
Co2 is at 3 bubble per 4 sec. In 6 gallon tank.
PH 5.5 can go as high as 6.
I am attempting to get hc to grow in my fluval edge.
Use a syphon http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/superfish-aqua-syphon-set-p-3901.html
I just started with HC. What cleaning equipment did he use for that?
