    Plant fertilizer question

    I've been using Seachem Flourish and Excel in my planted tanks with some success but I noticed that the Flourish gets dark over time. I'm assuming that this is due to oxidation of the nutrients inside. If I get the little bottle, I use it up before it gets really dark. So here's my question -...

    Any low light plant ideas in a 20 gallon long?

    I have 36 watts of standard flourescent. I only have crypts in it right now. Would Java Ferns, Java Moss & Anubias Nana be good for this setup?

    Recommendation about plant sales at Club auctions:

    Might we make it an informal rule that bagged plants containing duckweed be labeled as such? 'Tis most inconvenient and to my mind rude to assume that everyone wants this in their tanks - am sure anyone who has expended the effort and diligence required to eliminate it from a tank will agree...
