heff Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) Is it "normal" for hornwort to drop needles? Or was it the 40% water change I did yesterday that might've killed it? I try to minimize changes (1 per 4-6 weeks) as I attempt to run a low-tech, natural tank. The water change was prompted by 40-80 ppm NO3 and 2.5-5 pmm PO4. I can go into great detail about my setup if someone really wants to read all of it All the best... EDIT - Ah, I'm reading some more about the fact that it might just be the lower needles that dropped due to lack of light. It appeared to be nearly all of the needles, but it might just be the bottom 90%. Edited September 28, 2010 by heff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingin' It Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I take it you float your hornwort instead of planting it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heff Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Well, I'm about to float it. I had originally planted it but it's obviously too far away from my mediocre 1.4 watts per gallon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Yeah, I have trouble growing it planted with less than 2wpg, but floating it grows well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
