Staurogyne RepensStaurogyne Repens is a light green plant that is straightforward to grow. Suitable for the foreground or background, it can be grown into a lawn shape in larger tanks to create a wonderful base in the aquarium.Growth: easyLight requirements: mediumCO₂ requirements: lowAdult plant height: up to 10 cmGrowth: ModerateTemperature: 20-28°CPlacement in aquarium: Foreground or backgroundOrigin: South AmericaShell diameter 6 cm The Staurogyne Repens requires a Medium light and CO₂ requirements. Cut shoots can be planted in the Substrate to be planted and continue to multiply. The Staurogyne Repens has an interesting leaf structure and color. It is characterized by moderate growth and adult specimens reach a height of up to 10 cm. It is popular for arrangements in planted aquariums. It has a well-developed root system. It originates from South America, more precisely from the southern Amazon. In the wild it was discovered in the Rio Cristalino river. The plant is characterized by low light requirements. In good light, it does not grow too tall and forms a dense lawn. Less light is not a problem for it, but then it grows more slowly. The dosage of carbon dioxide and feeding with micro and macronutrient fertilizers ensure intensive growth. Staurogyne Repens absorbs nutrients mainly through its root system and therefore prefers a fertile substrate. Advanced aquarists, however, can keep this species attached to ornaments or decorations. It is enough to use a suitable adhesive. In this case, care must be taken to provide fertilizers to the water column. The best growth results are obtained when the plant is planted in an active substrate. Under good conditions, the plant grows very quickly. It does not require complicated care. All you need to pay attention to is regular pruning using sharp scissors with curved blades. Frequent pruning will help Staurogyne Repens become denser and grow. After pruning, it spreads and forms new stems with leaves. Therefore, it can also be used to create an interesting foreground. Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at intervals between 3 - 4 cm..

Limnophila sessiliflora / small Ambulia max. growth height - 50 cm Country of origin Southeast Asia Suitability Community aquarium Type Stem plant family Scrophulariaceae Genus sessifloria Propagation Head cuttings, side shoots Growth rate  fast pH 5 - 8 Water hardness 10 - 20 °dh Notes   A widespread stem plant in Asia. In the emersed stage it is small with densely leafed shoots. In the aquarium, the leaflets are much more pronounced and the colour is now light green. Limnophila sessiliflora is a good alternative to the more light-demanding Cabomba plant. As with many delicate stem plants, it should also be planted in a larger number of stems as a group. With good lighting, the tips of its shoots turn rusty brown.

AquaMaker is very versatile: Removes chlorine Removes chloramine Removes heavy metals like copper, zinc and lead Binds and detoxifies poisonous ammonia Binds and neutralizes toxic nitrite Binds and neutralizes nitrate Destresses fish Protects the mucous membrane and gills of fish AquaMaker has no impact on the pH, KH or GH. Furthermore, AquaMaker will not overactivate skimmers.UseAquaMaker is best added to the tap water used for the water change. Only use the dose for the volume of this new tap water. Thus, aggressive substances are immediately neutralized.AquaMaker can of course also be added directly to the aquarium. In this case, base the dosage on the total volume of the aquarium water. DosageThe standard dosage is 10 ml AquaMaker per 50 liters of aquarium water.Or:The standard dosage is 1 US fl oz AquaMaker per 40 US Gallons of aquarium water.Shake before use. The product may release a sulfur odor.Example: dosing to tap water for water changeFive buckets of each 10 liters are filled to change water. Dose 2 ml of AquaMaker in each bucket and mix it. The mixture can be added to the aquarium right away, because AquaMaker works instantly.Example: dosing to an aquariumAn aquarium has a water volume of 100 liters and 20 liters of water is changed. The dosage of AquaMaker is for the full water content, in this case 100 liters. The addition to the aquarium water should be 20 ml of AquaMaker.Deviating dosages – concentrations of chloramine, chlorine and nitrite & water temperature* use a half dose of AquaMaker (5 ml per 50 liters; 1 US fl oz per 80 US Gallons) at low concentrations of chlorine, chloramine or ammonia* use a double dose of AquaMaker (20 ml per 50 liters; 2 US fl oz per 40 US Gallons) at higher concentrations of chlorine, chloramine of ammonia* emergency: use a triple dose of AquaMaker (30 ml per 50 liter; 3 US fl oz per 40 US Gallons) at very high nitrite concentrations (3 mg/L or higher) or at very high ammonia concentrations (1 mg/L or higher)* use up to half a dose of AquaMaker (maximum) as soon as the water temperature reaches  30 ºC (= 86 ºF)

Bucephalandra sp. "Wave leaf" Bucephalandra sp. "Wave Leaf" is an aquarium plant that can grow on rocks and roots. An endemic species from the Indonesian island of Borneo. The rhizome of the plant should not be buried in the soil.Difficulty of growing: easyLight requirements: lowCO₂ requirements: lowHeight of mature plant: 10 cmGrowth: slowTemperature: 22-28°CPlacement in aquarium: second levelOrigin: Borneo Island, Southeast AsiaCup diameter: 6 cmAlthough the Bucephalalander has been known to botanists since the mid-19th century. Century is known, it enjoys in the aquaristics only for about a decade of growing popularity. The genus name refers to the name of Alexander the Great's beloved horse, Bucephalus. Bucephalandra sp. Wavyleaf was found in the wild in the riparian rivers of Borneo. Its characteristic feature is the relatively narrow and long leaves of deep green color with wavy edges.In terms of overall structure and requirements, it resembles the popular Anubias. Aquascapers like to use this plant in arrangement design because it requires little maintenance due to its moderate growth. Bucephalandra can be successfully cultivated in paludariums, but the leaves above water are thicker and differently colored.Bucephalandra sp. 'Wave Leaf' overgrows rushing streams and rivers with strong currents in the wild. It is also commonly found on the slopes of waterfalls. In the aquarium, it can therefore be successfully planted near the filter outlet or the circulating pump.This variety of Bucephalandra is easy to grow and therefore recommended for beginners. It has a wide range of tolerable parameters. It grows in both soft and hard water, with a GH of 0 - 30. pH should be between 5 and 8. It can thrive in partial shade and even in shade, although it looks more colorful in intense lighting.The propagation is similar to that of Anubias. It forms derived rhizomes that emerge from the main part of the plant. To obtain new cuttings, simply cut off the side shoots. If it stays on the mother plant, it forms a nice, compact growth. In the background, attached to a root or rock, it cuts a fine figure. Its adhesive roots grow very strongly into the pores of rocks or roots. After some time, the grip is so strong that it is practically impossible to remove the plant without scissors or a knife. Bucephalandra can also be planted in loose and porous substrate, such as lava, but be sure to avoid covering the rhizome. Planted deep in the substrate, it loses its leaves and dies. In addition to aquariums, this species is also well suited for paludariums, but the humidity must always be kept high. Otherwise, the leaves of Bucephalandra will dry out and die.Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at a small distance on the selected items.
