Message: [QUOTE="callingcolleen1, post: 186133, member: 4209"] Oh yes, the hornwort for sale in the stores comes with a led weight to hold it down, but mine grows best just floating near the surface of the pond, tumbling with the strong water current in the top pond. the bottom pond it just floats on the sunny side around the halogen globe light. The hornwort looks much different when growing under artificial lighting, like in the stores, or when grown inside in my fish tanks, as it only grows very thick and lush under the real hot natural sun. It can grow fairly well in the fish tanks under LED lights, but the hornwort strands tend to grow long and skinny under artificial lighting, giving the plant a different look. It you buy the hornwort again take a piece of the strand and keep it in a jar of water in the window so if the fish eat it all in the spring, you will still have some growing in a jar in the window all winter long. In the spring I always throw the excess hornwort from the fish tanks inside the house, cause the fish really go nuts for it in the early spring. During the hot summer, it should grow much faster then what the fish can eat. [/QUOTE]
