Re: Wisconsin natives
Karen,
Thanks for the info on the light bulbs, I'll try to get to the hardware
store tonight.

Well, hubby & I went plant hunting last night almost at dusk (just cause we
both worked late, not cause we were trying to be sneaky). We scooped a
bucket in & got many unidentifiable (using aqurium plant books) plants,
but did get some very healthy looking stuff which I'm sure is hornwort (much
thicker than what I've grown in my tanks but similar to the way I've seen
it arrive at the fish store) and some very thin looking elodea. Their
"health status" was probably due to the lake ph (>8.0). I'll see how they
do in the tank at pH 7.6.
I have also already thrown in some hornwort, hygrophila & a lawn-like plant
(can't think of the name right now) from my other tanks. Plants have been
growing in my other tanks very slowly lately - msaybe too many allechemicals?
It will be interesting to see how these cuttings take off in a new tank.
Joanne.
