RE: [AGA Member] Marsilea carpets

["Phil Edwards" <biotypical@hotmail.com>]

Roger,

I have that same problem with Glosso and Marsilea.  I think it's due to food 
and feces getting down into the middle/lower layers of the carpet and 
creating an algae friendly environment.  The only way I've found to keep it 
algae free is to do constant vaccuuming and have a horde of Corys and Ghost 
Shrimp to get as much leftover food out of there as possible.

The bigger factor with Marsilea may be its slower growth, as I've had more 
problems with it than with Glosso.  Just as Anubias tends to get algae 
regardless of what we do I think Marsilea may be the same.  How extensive is 
your problem?

Best,
Phil
