Plant database Every species in the layout, each with the PAR measured at its own position rather than a figure quoted for the tank as a whole. Botanical detail is general to the species; anything specific to this aquarium is marked as observed or as not yet recorded.
Species20 01 · Vallisneria nana Narrow-leaf vallisneria — Rosette; propagates by runners, throwing daughter plants along the substrate. 176 µmolhigh 02 · Lobelia cardinalis 'Mini' Dwarf cardinal plant — Compact stem; slow, upright, holds a tight rosette of rounded leaves. 90 µmolin range 03 · Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' Dwarf scarlet temple — Compact stem; dense, slow, stays low relative to the standard form. 100 µmolin range 04 · Myriophyllum 'Guyana' Guyana dwarf milfoil — Fine feathered stem; fast, upright, forms a soft vertical texture. 70 µmolin range 05 · Myriophyllum mattogrossense 'Golden' Golden milfoil — Fine feathered stem; fast, with a yellow-gold cast under stronger light. 70 µmolin range 06 · Rotala 'Orange Juice' Rotala OJ — Fine stem; upright, branching, moderate speed. 135 µmolhigh 07 · Rotala 'Blood Red' Rotala Blood Red — Fine stem; upright, slower than green Rotala, branches willingly. 155 µmolhigh 08 · Limnophila hippuridoides Purple ambulia — Whorled stem; fast, upright, large by aquarium standards. 145 µmolhigh 09 · Pogostemon stellatus Star plant — Whorled stem; fast and large, with narrow radiating leaves. 50 µmollow 10 · Hygrophila 'Kompakt' Compact hygrophila — Stem; compact and slow, with short internodes and horizontal leaves. 56 µmolin range 11 · Ludwigia arcuata Needle-leaf ludwigia — Fine stem; narrow needle leaves, upright, moderate speed. 80 µmolin range 12 · Hygrophila pinnatifida Pinnatifida — Creeping and epiphytic; sends out lateral shoots and attaches to hardscape. 90 µmolin range 13 · Staurogyne repens Staurogyne — Low creeping stem; slow, branching, forms a dense low bush. 105 µmolhigh 14 · Micranthemum tweediei 'Monte Carlo' Monte Carlo — Carpeting; runners across the substrate forming a low mat. 122 µmolhigh 15 · Alternanthera reineckii 'Super Magenta' Super magenta — Stem; upright, moderate speed, larger leaf than the 'Mini' form. 76 µmolin range 16 · Ludwigia glandulosa Peruensis — Stem; upright, slow to moderate, narrow leaves held close. 102 µmolin range 17 · Rotala macrandra Giant red rotala — Stem; large soft leaves, fast, demanding. 95 µmollow 18 · Ludwigia 'Pantanal' Pantanal — Stem; upright, demanding, with broad soft leaves. 95 µmolin range 19 · Rotala wallichii Whorly rotala — Fine whorled stem; feathery, upright, light-hungry. 77 µmollow 20 · Rotala macrandra 'Mini' Mini macrandra — Compact stem; smaller and slower than the standard macrandra. 125 µmolin range PAR figures come from the survey documented in PAR Mapping Across a 90P , measured underwater with an Apogee MQ-510 .
