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.
Quick effective and all in order. Plants in individual pockets within a further package bag all inside a generous sized postage package. All plants looking healthy so fingers crossed all with grow and give viewing pleasure for years to come
Again perfect plant beautifully marked, very clean and healthy always carefully packaged, excellent service from Aqua Essentials, always pleased with their quality live plants.
Have been using this site for a long time, always packaged great, obvs have had the odd few that have arrived not as great, you get what you pay for, obvs not cheap but worth it they thrive in my tank each time.
I received my order promptly and very well packaged and am very pleased with tue service and prpducts. I am especially pleased with the plant which is extremely clean and healthy and potted up beautifully.
I ordered a tropica 1-2 grow Anubius barteri nana and some water spangles, both plants were healthy.
The water spangles has a couple snails on them but thats to be expected.
The only issue i faced was with tracking my order, but that may have been on Royal Mail's side.

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?
