    That's actually the hyacinthus, but yes, the RP has really colored up; everything has. Almost everything I have has multiple branches growing in the last 3 weeks.

    Thank ya! I'd say ignoring my tank attributes to it. Seriously, the less I mess the better the system. There's more stability.

    Red bugs are back. Seem to come back every time the temperature rises. I.e. in Florida, over the last couple weeks, we've been reaching 78-85 everyday. Far cry from the mid 50s and 60s we were having.

    good news! not the red bugs obviously but the good response to the dosing - what did you dose?
