Thanks Kevin!
I consider myself very lucky. Without SaltySully, I'd be looking at a very long wait to get more manatee grass.
Learning from my mistakes takes some of the sting out of making them. Seems like I'm getting lots of practice lately. I do believe I can get the manatee grass back to better than it was. It will be challenging to get it back to the density I had, but I'm pretty sure I can get them to grow taller.
In v1, I had some blades in the three to four foot range. This is taller than they normally grow in Nature. How can this be? It's about the light. Manatee grass grows taller to compensate for lower light levels. Though my 400 watt metal halide (with spiderlight reflector) is good, it's not as bright as sunlight. So, I expect to get taller growth again.
QT 22 days.
