Owen Robertson –
The plant pack arrived quickly and the variety of plants is impressive. I used the recommended lighting and substrate, and the plants are growing well after two months. The Amazon Sword and Java Fern are thriving, and the dwarf hairgrass adds a nice touch to the tank.
Evan Burgess –
I planted the Mega Plant Pack in my 100-gallon tank. The lighting setup was a bit tricky at first, but once I adjusted to 12 hours of moderate light, everything settled. The Ludwigia and Rotala are spreading nicely, and the plants look healthy.
Harry Tucker –
Great selection of plants for a large tank. The Ozelot Sword and Banana Plant are standing strong. I followed the instructions on lighting and substrate, and the growth has been steady. No issues with algae so far.
Diane Rutherford –
The plants came in good condition and are easy to place. I used a T-5 light with 6500K spectrum, which worked perfectly. The moneywort is spreading well, and the Anubias is holding up well on the rocks.
