Hey Marsha,
Thanks for the reply! I can't believe the swords either! I added a 110W light strip, and about a week later, all of the larger swords added about 4" to their length. This, after being the same length for over a year!
Per the microsword. It wasn't doing so well in this tank (before I added the extra light). At about the same time, I redid one of my other tanks with Onyx sand, and decided to move the microsword to that one. It hasn't taken off, but it <strong>is</strong> growing, albeit slowly. I haven't managed to take a <em>good</em> picture of that tank yet, but I'll post one as soon as I do. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0">
