Is this possibly a fertilizer deficiency? My tanks are heavily stocked with fish so I dont do much water column fertilization. Any ideas? I...

    Plants

    I went by HOT this evening. They got in a large shipment of plants and changed the bulbs on the section. It looks great! I also picked up some eheim powerheads/internal filters that were priced too well to pass up! Sent from my SCH-I535 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

    Do you acclimate your plants to high pH?

    So, I've heard several folks talk about the best plants for using with African Cichlids, but do any of you worry about acclimating your plants to the high pH and hard water? Do you need to do it with some plants and not others?
