     Lobelia cardinalis.

    These plants have all evolved from one or two inital plants. Quite old now. The red colour they have when new soon goes, even under the T5s and iron ferts. One had grown right up to the water's surface .So I cut it down todaySmile

     Ammania senegalensis.

    Two of these were once sent in place of something else from Greenline. They grow like mad the stop growing, then go mad again to the water's surface. The colour gets very intense according to the light. If the light isn't enough they soon start to go green. It's only more recently that they have bushed out and I have several small plants from them now. Before they started to bush out the main stem grew quite thick and the leaves bigger.

    Stripping down a tank is something I'd probably be putting off too Matt. Hope it goes well and resolves the problemSmile
