 Anyone successfully growing cabomba furcata (piauhyensis)?

I did a few years ago. Nice fast growing plant. Does better with higher iron
levels, flourite, moderate lighting.

 I have a Smartlite 2x65w (10k bulbs) powercompact over a 50gal tank. Would
that be sufficient lighting for it?

Sure.

 Also, I was also thinking seriously of moving to freshwater shrimp for algae
and substrate cleaning duty.

Plan on 30-50 of them. They need high densities to be effective.

Stick with Amano's. The others seem pretty wimpy. Except for some of the red
types.

Nippon and or Justin should work a deal with you for that amount.

Tom Barr
