				Thanks for the tips, everyone. Gonna try RO water for the Cabomba and see if that helps.

				Good luck! Let us know if it works. I might give it another shot if you crack the code.

				My Amazon Sword just won't grow. It's been months, and the leaves are tiny. Using root tabs and everything.

Swords are heavy root feeders. How deep's your substrate? Less than 2 inches and they struggle.

				Also, check your nitrates. Swords love 'em. Mine took off when I let nitrates hit 20 ppm.
