I am currently using pure RO water revitalized with Kent RO Right in my apisto tanks. Although it seems to be a good receipe for apistos, the same has not hel true for plants. Val never really caught on, my crypts were doing great for a little bit but now have started to "melt," Ludwigia died(although I have heard this is a very demanding plant, so it probably just died due to my lack of a green thumb). Onion plant is really the only plant doing anything(that and algae- <g>). All tanks have at least 2w/gallon lighting. Not fertilized very often, although I should probably start doing this due to low nutrient levels. If I did it would be with a liquid iron treatment and if there is anything I can put in the substrate as an afterthought(nothing now). No CO2. Any ideas on plants that tolerate water that is VERY mineral depleted?
