OK, I drastically thinned the Sword out today and gave the roots a little trim. It's gone from having 12 leaves to now having 5. When I was taking them off I noticed that all the ones that looked ill were only hanging on by threads! Something has been chewing on the very bottoms of the stems!!! I'm hoping it'll get a decent chance to grow now (and I haven't sent it into shock or anything by removing more than half it's leaves!). I'm slowly finding all the little mystery snails in the tank and removing them but they hide so well! I don't want the snails eating my plants any more! I also pulled off the dead yellow looking val leaves. Hopefully my ex will make my light tomorrow, I asked him just to encase the fluoro fixture in some wood and attach a switch so I can at least whack that on top and have some light for them until he makes the proper 3.7ft hood...we'll have to wait and see if he actually does it!
