Yet another DSM validation thread.

I sense that DSM may be a case to case basis, from what I understand at least.

Substrate is Fe rich soil mixed with river sand. I'm avoiding the term 'laterite' because I'm pretty sure it's not just laterite.

I know Glosso works well with DSM , but can you grow hygrophilia polysperma emersed as well?

I read somewhere that once you flood it, you should lower the intensity of the lights? I'm running mine low to medium level, should i bump it up when DSM'ing?

Here's a link to the tank, just in case. =b

People here actually advise to increase the lighting intensity and photo period during DSM. I run a 96 watt light over my 10g for 16 hours during DSM and then switch to 54 watts for 8 hours during submersion.
No algae problems and plenty of CO2. Blast away.
