So I'm brand new to the hobby and have had a VERY low tech 10g set up for two months. I dose No ferts, no CO2, and two aqueon 50/50 10 watt mini CFLs with a "Mr Natural" gravel substrate base. I wanted to see how successful I could be and if the hobby would stick before I invested any real money so all my Plants came from the local (south Carolina mind you) Petsmart. After a misstep with some mondo grass I bought hornwort, Italian Vals, and Red ludwigia. The ludwigia was all green upon purchase but has since but on new growth that is deep red almost purple. Is this an indication that the plant is thriving? Also, once it breached the surface can I clip and replant the red portion in hopes of growing it all solid red? Also, any advice on general tank layout is much appreciated.
