Aquarium-kits bought at stores doesn't provide nearly as much light as the plants needs. Also, nutrient is necessary to keep the plants alive, especially if you're good att doing your water changes.
It depens on light levels and how the plant is able to adapt to non-CO2 water. Some plants are able to develop bicarbonate usage instead of CO2, but not all. Growth till be very slow and in some cases where the light levels are very low plants will die.
@seanwasere No. The amount of light in all tanks is about a 10-30 times less than that of the sun. In this shady location where I filmed the plant I estimate the intensity to be about 5-10 µmol/s/m². Or even lower.
@dzaeman No plant is in a quite shady location. A guesstimate the light levels to be around 5-10 µmol/s/m² PAR here. It's ordinary simple light bulbs. No fluorescents or anything.
Yes the ticking sound is when my CO2-injection releases a CO2-bubble into the inlet of my canister filter. With CO2-injection the photosynthesis is very high, producing alot of O2.
Watching this for my online bio class :D

@Sypha14 No, pearling is when, for example tied down Riccia develops a shroud of oxygen bubbles. This is called "streaming".

Does anyone know the reason aquarium plants turn to slime, pls help thank you.

does the plant die if theres not enough CO2 production?

This is very interesting. I didn't realize that the rate of oxygen production was so high.

Its probably because the light is burning the leaf and the leaf is slowly decorbonating

Is the oxygen produced from the plant combustible?

I haven't tested that, but the photosynthesis produces 100% oxygen that I know of..

Very interesting.
Thank you for sharing!

oh my, that quite an amount of gas (what ever o2, and stuffs) beeing produced.
