Default Re: plant questions from a beginner

ok so my sprites need to be rooted. now i saw where someone axed a question bout an UGF giving their live plant problems...i was also wondering if putting in an UGF along with my external would be a bad idea? my fish play in the current that i have from the external all day long and i figured that when i stepped up to a 29g that i could instal a ugf and external. and thank you very much daviddoyle for the info on the brackish water plants. i have spoke to many ppl about plants for my aquarium since i unknowingly put hornwort, pineapple, a large sword grass and many other plants in the tank that wouldnt except freshwater but they all only knew of between 2 to 4 plants that would and they were all the same ones.....the ones i have. my lighting is a flora-glo 15w 2800k 18" flourescent bulb and i only have one its on a 10g tank now another question i have is about how the plants that are raised in a freshwater setup and then i put them into the brackish setup their leaves die(i gather because they arent hydrated enough) so the plant makes new leaves and the new ones are fine. but what will happen when i put my raised plants into freshwater? will they do the same thing? i heard about the current idear with the bolbitis from the guy that told me about it so i do have the current but thanx for the tips on helping it grow and i might try this DIY Co2 stuff too thnx guys
