Not sure! But it keeps multiplying and I have to remove the larger pieces every so often!
Thanks!

I wish I had that problem. I thought it might be their toxins as my overall water quality is good but not sure now looking at yours. They get plenty of light too. Probably lack of nutrients. Do you add anything to your water for the plants? What kind of lighting do you use?

I don't do anything special, no added anything. The lights are 2 white aquarium cfls. The lid is pretty tight fitting so there is a lot of moisture. Maybe that helps? The plants are really taking off!

We use a full spec over the land and a uvb5 turtle light over the water. Our plants grow like nuts. Even a tiger lilly.

I'm thinking of changing the Current USA Planted+ satellite I have on there now when I build out my new 75g fish tank in a couple weeks as I don't think the frogs need that much light. My plants certainly love it, except the water lettuce. It may just be that the lights are too far away but I'm stumped. All the terrestrial plants and the other semi aquatic plants are thriving but the water lettuce lasts a week or so and just goes yellow. Looking for adequate replacements and might just go full spectrum cfl or similar.
