Re: Tank Tops--also A. australe and lighting

["William Ruyle" <forest at copper_net>]

Alas, but no, Scott. I had an "over 50 moment" as Patrick Coleman would say
and hit the "send" button rather than the "reply" one. Subject change:

As others have used compact fluorescent lighting for their
killie tanks, I'm wondering if the light is too strong for A.
australe eggs--even with fairly dense covering of duckweek and water
lettuce. I've managed to raise one
female to maturity, and that's all. I've tried just about everything, all
manner of tweaking water chemistry, filtering with peat, wearing feathered
headdresses, smearing face and body with goose fat, incantations, flash
powder, but I digress: in sum, I love the species but it's an
unrequited love when it comes to breeding. And I'm thinking, "maybe it's the
lighting," something macro instead of micro.
