Plenty more plant spotlights to come 😊 glad you enjoyed

Thanks, too kind :)

Absolutely!

:D thanks.

Guarantee it still appears. Shouldve saved your time

Blake's Aquatics it dose but I pull it every time I see even a leaf. So far so good

Nah just an inch or so tops 👍 enjoy

if theres droplets on them there will be a magnifying effect and burn the leaves and eventually kill them

@@tyngchinchillachang838 a fairly large drop yeah but if they are very tiny it shouldn't really be an issue

Yeah just with some duckweed scattered throughout 👍 cheers

i bought a regular led shop light for 2 of my 10 gallon tanks to share, and my big tank i have the nicrew skyled plus. the shoplight is about 12 inches away from the tank and isnt that bright and the RRF are nice and red but they arnt propagating much and the leaves arnt big. the nicrew light i can change the brightness and has almost like a black UV light setting too. but the RRF in that tank they propagated like crazy, flowered and some are nice and red and some are still greenish but the leaves are almost double the size in this tank as my smaller tanks. i made small floating areas out of aquarium hose to contain the plants then once it out grew it i built one to go around the filters flow into the tank so they cant be pushed under water. when i had them boxed in they grew fast and was nice so ill see how boxing out the filter goes too. itll give the plants more room in the tank but i dont want the fish to not have any surface room. my goal is to eventually propagate enough to sell some!

Thanks for the detailed info! I agree its crazy how diverse the results can be

Sure thing! Duckweed, frogbit and water lettuce

Iron can help or check that you dint have too much flow/ splashing

No problem with that, as long as it isnt too hot 30 deg c +++

@@BlakesAquatics thanks mate 😌

Its a light by aqua nest, not sure of the specific name sorry

Uneaten food that was trapped? Sounds like an old pellet

@@BlakesAquatics Wouldn't be food as I only feed my betta floating pellets. The RRF came with my betta from the fish store and its only on that plant, it hasn't grown on any of my others, kind of odd

Please time stamp when i said that

@@BlakesAquatics now i have to watch the video, 1 sec

2:40 you blinked, indicating disgust in not only the duckweed, but the frogbit and other common floating plants too

@@SirPrawnalot lol all i said was that it was different to those. Im all inclusive here

I remove half of the surface area of a 3 ft aquarium every week if that helps

@@BlakesAquatics tysm for the information

Yeah flip any upside down ones up the right way but totally natural for 2 or 3 to be attached

@@BlakesAquatics Thanks! Well, they grew up and downwards in the cup so thats why i was thinking to just cut them apart. Hope it didnt affect them negatively being completely emersed into water like that.

Periodically thinning them out

they will do it by themselves

@@BlakesAquatics awesome! Thanks. Subscribed too!

It absolutely hates flow, if you dont have much flow probably your lights arent strong enough or they drained all the nutrients from the water

Bad, not the worst though just means you need more light intensity

Yeah ive done the same trick 😂

All of mine is disappearing too 🤣 I have grown tons of plants can't seem to get red root floaters to make it.

Whilst you trial some lights it can be worthwhile keeping some outside in a water filled container to make sure you have some survive

@@BlakesAquatics good advice blake! Tough here in the north eastern united States but a month or two and I will try just that!

They need very little to no flow to properly grow. The slightest water movement is bad for these plants for whatever reason.

Hey J Jr, sorry mate nah I dont

Usually the faster the growth the faster the nitrate absorption so pretty fast 👍

@@BlakesAquatics thanks blake👍

@@dunghuynh4734 does that mean i dont have to do water changes since this succks up nitrates ?

Maximum light, think of the most powerful light you know and double that 😅

My tank is hooded so im scared its gonna be too close to the light, but its LED and doesnt put out much heat at all so im crossing ny fingers. No store near me had any, thus had to order them. It said it will come with 2 other surprise plants so im excited

Need some super high lights 👍 if i took the floaters away that light would make instamt green water

@@BlakesAquatics ive come some strong LEDs on it :/ guess not strong enough xD dang tank lights up my room at night haha

For example that orangeish one i showed thats from a fluval 3.0

@@BlakesAquatics ah see i aint god no fancy fluvals. Im too poor :P i got some LED kitchen counter lights xD but they are super bright, maybe just a bad spectrum

@@BlakesAquatics great video! I have had RRF for a year and still can’t turn them red except in direct sun. I just upgraded to a Fluval Plant 3.0 and have it running at 75% on everything except blues for 12 hrs. They are still orange/pink. Have you been able to get them red on a higher setting like 100% or not at all with the Plant 3.0?

He got them from me 😂

Blake's Aquatics thought maybe case love how Aussie fish tubers work together .awesome community

yeah need super strong light.

@@BlakesAquatics what kind of light

its an expression lol

He has hot hands. Don't sit down at a poker table with him
