I love people who start off claiming one thing, then change their position in the very next post. Clearly, by your own words spectrum does matter. A place I worked here in the US had a sign on the door: In God we Trust: All others bring data... Oh, but excuse me. I forget. You ARE the expert...

Have you tried Googling "native aquatic plants UK"? That will get you started. Also be aware the the concept "native" can at times be a bit squishy. There is a state here in the US that considers a particular plant as an invasive species because they found a record of someone importing a...

The point is what to put the effort towards. I prefer to put it towards learning about plants, fish and all the rest in their natural state -- not some artificial construct that is only maintained with a lot of extra work by me. I don't use CO2, ditto extra ferts and I get most of the light I...

An important point to remember is that while in general plants metabolize ammonia, some plants (mainly Monocots, I believe) have evolved to prefer nitrates. Sent from my P022 using Tapatalk

The thing you need to know is how this form of ludwigea grows in the wild (which it does here in Texas). You get a very pretty sort of rosette of leaves, but the stem keeps growing out of the middle of it and forms a new rosette of leaves. The leaves that were around the outside of the old...

Well, if the ludwigea is completely submerged, that's problem number 1. The main part of the plant needs to be floating. It will send roots down to the substrate. I have it in my tank, no fertilizer, no CO2 and just the light coming in through a window and it is doing great. Sent from my P022...

Is the dirt being kicked up into the water column? What do you have on top of the dirt? Does the black settle out? Anything else in the tank? Sent from my P022 using Tapatalk
