I suspect that CO2 fertilization and good light are necessary because I've
grown a carpet of glosso fairly quickly without a super rich substrate. I
personally think that your substrate will prove to be too rich and cause
problems down the road.
but my tank is also 24 inches deep (top to bottom)
>would that be a cause for slow growth
This is pretty deep for a lot of light to get right down to gravel level,
but it is growing so that's something.
