One that is often overlooked is that the water must be "hard" (high dH (american: ppm calcium))as opposed to soft. That means that the calcium content of the water must be high. <br />This is very important as it has a big effect on the colour. Soft water gives orangy colour.<br />Since I live in a country that lies on old seabed, the water naturally has a high calcium content, but you can buy and add it.Sagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02483218551196669811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27217763.post-64647705270903851072006-10-20T18:28:00.000+02:002006-10-20T18:28:00.000+02:00Tinder fungus ("Tøndersvamp") grows quite abundant...Tinder fungus ("Tøndersvamp") grows quite abundantly in Denmark.

Your Madder colours are exceptional, as I haven't yet found the way to get those lovely reds. Seeing all the other plants your use is quite inspirational.
